Every legal technology company puts forth its own contractual obligations and legal terms and agreements. But missing from many of those agreements are ethical and behavioral obligations.

The Legal Technology Professionals Institute (LTPI) is trying to change that. LTPI has released the first edition of the LTPI Model Code of Conduct (MCoC), a document intended to establish ethical standards and guidelines for the legal technology community. The 21-page document breaks the ethical guidelines down into eight sections separated by relevancy to various sectors of the legal technology community.
