Rule 2 Applicability

This rule explains who has to follow these conduct standards. It applies to lawyers who represent children in abuse and neglect cases.

These rules cover cases filed under specific Nevada laws (NRS Chapters 432B and 128), which deal with child abuse, neglect, and termination of parental rights. The rules also apply to other related cases that affect the child's wellbeing, even if those cases are not the main abuse or neglect case.

In short, if a lawyer is representing a child in one of these types of cases, they must follow these professional conduct rules.
