Legal and Ethical Obliagtions of Defense Attorneys?

I am doing a paper on the “Legal and Ethical Obligations of Defense Lawyers”. I have found most of the legal obligations but i am struggling to differentiate between those and the ethical obligations.HELP! some possible books would be excellent.

Ethical obligations are set forth in the Rules of Professional Conduct in effect in the State in which one is admitted to practice. All legal obligations are also ethical obligations, since an attorney must, as a matter of ethics, obey the law. Violation of purely ethical obligations, on the other hand, can result in professional discipline, but don’t have force apart from the legal profession itself. I believe (though I could be wrong about this) that a violation of the RPC would not, in itself, amount to a cause of action for a lawsuit by a client. It could, however, result in your being reprimanded, suspended from practice, or disbarred.
