The programs and rules presented in these \u003ci\u003eModel Rules and Guidelines\u003c\/i\u003e can be implemented without vast expenditure of resources and are worthy of consideration by bar leaders in all jurisdictions. While these \u003ci\u003eModel Rules and Guidelines\u003c\/i\u003e have aspirational aspects, they in large part reflect actual programs successfully administered in a number of jurisdictions, some for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in this edition are the recently updated \u003ci\u003eModel Rules for Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eModel Rules for Fee Arbitration\u003c\/i\u003e.
