Rules of Professional Conduct – Comment Period Ends December 9, 2024
Rule 3.3. Candor toward the tribunal. AMEND. The proposed amendment would align the rule and intent with the model rule as was originally done. Utah restructured this rule by renumbering paragraphs from the model rule. In doing so, the model language (now in subsection (d)) included that “the duties stated in paragraphs (a) and (b)” required disclosure but omitted the new paragraph (c). The language of Utah paragraph (c) is found in model rule paragraph (b). The comments were also amended to reflect correct citations.
