Abstract
In 2009, the Illinois Supreme Court adopted a new set of rules of professional conduct for lawyers practicing in the state of Illinois. These changes are the first complete revision of the rules since 1990 and bring a series of significant changes to the Illinois code of professional conduct. While these new rules will not change the way a vast majority of lawyers practice on a daily basis, certain rule changes are significant and will affect practicing lawyer’s decisions regarding a variety of matters. This comment provides a quick reference guide that will offer lawyers practicing in the state of Illinois the information they need regarding the recent revision of the Illinois rules of professional conduct.
