2025 Selected Standards reflects changes in lawyer professional standards through August 2024. The American Bar Association left its Model Rules of Professional Conduct unchanged this year, and both California and New York did the same with their rules.

The big change in 2025 Selected Standards is the addition of the new Code of Conduct recently issued by the United States Supreme Court to describe the ethical standards to which the Justices pledge to hold themselves. Critics of this Code of Conduct point out that it lacks any mechanism for its enforcement, so debate about the justices’ ethical conduct seems likely to continue. Use of 2025 Selected Standards will provide law school classes easy access to evaluate the text of the Code and imagine whether enforcement will be possible.
