The author discusses the advents of collaborative lawyering and suggests that collaborative lawyering is not appropriate for every case because it focuses on the use of participation agreements which may limit the lawyer’s abilities to advocate the client’s cause with the kind of commitment and dedication required by the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. She recommends creation of new ethical standards that accommodate collaborative lawyering rather than using the MRPC, which was developed around an adversarial model of advocacy.
