American Legal Ethics Library

Cornell's Law School's Legal Information Institute has created a digital library containing the codes or rules setting standards for the professional conduct of lawyers.  It also includes commentary on the law governing lawyers.  It is organized on a state to state basis.

The narratives and primary material that comprise the core American     Legal Ethics Library have been structured to function as an integrated     collection. All elements of the library can be the subject of a full     text search or entered via a table of contents, but each element is linked     to the rest of the collection in multiple ways permitting a user to track     a specific issue or point from code to commentary in a single jurisdiction     or vice-versa and to follow that same question into materials covering     other jurisdictions. For example, a user interested in Florida's treatment     of conflict of interest can readily find the appropriate code provisions,     follow a link from them to the related portions of the state narrative,     and through the narrative access comparable sections in the ABA Model     Rules or Code or the legal ethics codes of other states.
