What are the Rules of Professional Conduct? Are paralegals held responsible under them? Should they be?

What will be an ideal response?


They “provide a foundation of ethical rules, either inspirational or mandated, that lawyers and lawyers’ staff should or must follow.” While only the lawyers may be sanctioned under them, the lawyer may be sanctioned for violations of his staff. Any paralegal that works for a lawyer must uphold the rules as well.
