This panel will explore compliance with state professional rules of conduct for practitioners in a federal practice, including the rule prohibiting the unauthorized practice of law amid the reality of clients with demands that fall across state lines. What nuances do professional rules of conduct prescribe to accommodate this reality? When must you seek local counsel? How do the local rules for the court in which you seek to practice inform (or conflict) with those obligations?
