Bruce S. Ross- Los Angeles
Trusts, Estates and Fiduciary Dispute Resolution Team Co-Chair Bruce Ross authored an ALI-ABA Estate Planning Course Materials Journal article titled, "Ethical Issues In Practice: Important Fiduciary Litigation."
In October 1993, the Board of Regents of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel ("ACTEC") unanimously adopted the ACTEC Commentaries on the Model Rules of Professional Conduct (the "Commentaries"). Designed to give "particularized guidance" to ACTEC fellows, estates and trusts lawyers generally, and others on the professional responsibilities of lawyers engaged in trusts and estates practice, the Commentaries reflect a concerted and thoughtful effort on the part of experienced probate practitioners to harmonize the "black letter" restrictions of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and the comments thereto with the ethical dictates of a generally nonadversarial and family-oriented trusts and estates practice.
