Video lecture for my Professional Responsibility course (and MPRE prep) about ABA Model Rule 2.3, which the ABA calls "Evaluation for Use by Third Persons." NOTE: There is NO RULE 2.2, it was rescinded/repealed many years ago. The Model Rules skip from Rule 2.1 to Rule 2.2. This is an updated/redone version of a lowerquality video I recorded back in 2020.

ABA Model Rule 2.3 says:
(a) A lawyer may provide an evaluation of a matter affecting a client for the use of someone other than the client if the lawyer reasonably believes that making the evaluation is compatible with other aspects of the lawyer's relationship with the client.
(b) When the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that the evaluation is likely to affect the client's interests materially and adversely, the lawyer shall not provide the evaluation unless the client gives informed consent.
(c) Except as disclosure is authorized in connection with a report of an evaluation, information relating to the evaluation is otherwise protected by Rule 1.6.

I have the comments turned off on my channel due to scammers posting marketing ads and trolls posting other inappropriate content. But if you found the video helpful and want to let me know, email me dstevenson @ stcl.edu
