Ronald D. Rotunda was a highly-respected, widely-published professor of both Legal Ethics and Constitutional Law. He served on the Executive Committee of the Federalist Society Professional Responsibility and Legal Education Practice Group from its creation until his death in March 2018. In his memory, the Practice Group has arranged to arrange a Teleforum at least annually on issues in legal ethics. The first Teleforum, titled "Ron Rotunda at the Intersection of Legal Ethics and Constitutional Law," will be presented by his long-time casebook co-author, Thomas D. Morgan, on Wednesday, March 20, 2019, at 2 pm EDT.
This Teleforum will focus on lawyer advertising, which Professor Rotunda addressed early in his career, and lawyer rhetoric, whose attempted regulation Professor Rotunda condemned at the end of his career. Professor Morgan will also address Professor Rotunda's interest in technology and his vision of a legal profession whose regulatory burdens may be reduced to allow clients the freedom to pursue their legal rights using services they can better afford.
