Since 1973, attorneys with questions about their responsibilities to clients and the Massachusetts legal system at large have looked to the Massachusetts Bar Association’s Committee on Professional Ethics for guidance. The Committee’s opinions on matters of professional responsibility, including conflicts of interest, fees,  business  promotion, and many others, formerly available only by print subscription, are now accessible, for free, to the public on the MBA’s website.  All the  Committee’s published opinions, dating back to 1973, can be searched  using key words at http://www.massbar.org/for-attorneys/ethical-inquiries
