In Connecticut the answer is Connecticut's Rules of Professional Conduct, which are rules of court adopted by the Judges of the Superior Court. Each state has its own legal ethics rules most of which are variations on the American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct. The ABA Model Rules are not binding.
The Rules of Professional Conduct describe the basic obligations lawyers owe to clients, third parties, to courts and to the profession. There can be tension and conflict among those obligations. Part of the challenge is to identify and resolve those conflicts in a professionally responsible manner.
