Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! In this episode of our "Listen and Learn" series, we're focusing on a topic from professional responsibility - namely, lawyer fee agreements. These are governed by Rule 1.5 of both the ABA and the California Rules of Professional Conduct.

In this episode, we discuss:

The general rules a lawyer must follow when entering into a fee agreement with their client
Different types of fee agreements
Prohibited contingency fee agreements
A hypothetical scenario from a previous California bar exam
