Abstract
This article will highlight where the Nebraska RPCs
require or at least suggest that we look to the interests of others
as we represent our clients. In this analysis, we will review the
Preamble and Parts 1 through 4 of the Rules. Part 1 addresses
the client-lawyer relationship, Part 2 certain special roles of
a lawyer, Part 3 the lawyer as advocate, and Part 4 a lawyer’s
dealings with persons other than clients. In each of these areas,
we will identify where the Rules and their Comments guide our
responsibilities to third persons and beyond.
