American College of Trial Lawyers Code Pretrial and Trial Conduct
The American College of Trial Lawyers
recently adopted this Code of Pretrial Conduct as a companion to the Code of
Trial Conduct first adopted in 1956.
Like
the Code of Trial Conduct, this new Pretrial Code is part of a continuing
effort to promote professionalism and courtesy among trial lawyers during
all stages of litigation. It supplements existing rules of professional
conduct, local court rules, and rules of procedure, and provides guidance to
trial lawyers on proper conduct in pretrial proceedings. And, like the Code
of Trial Conduct, this Code expresses only minimum standards.
As
Chief Justice, a former trial lawyer, and an Honorary Fellow of the College,
it is a pleasure to commend the Code to the trial bar, law schools, and
judiciary of our nation.
William H. Rehnquist,
Chief
Justice of the United States
