For litigators the rules of ethics pose unique challenges. As zealous advocates, counselors, and courtroom orators, litigators must remain constantly vigilant to avoid ethical violations. For litigators, the application of ethical rules, standards, and obligations differs greatly from every other type of practice.
For example, in a real estate transaction, there is no judge who can impose sanctions against the attorneys. In a corporate deal, there is no court that imposes additional rules limiting what attorneys can say to the media.
