Medical Treatment: In the context of medical treatment, patients must generally give their informed consent prior to medical care. The ABA’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct defines informed consent as “the agreement by a person to a proposed course of conduct after the lawyer has communicated adequate information and explanation about the material risks of and reasonably available alternatives to the proposed course of conduct.” Legal Ethics: Lawyers counseling clients must obtain the client’s informed consent prior to undertaking an action for them. Informed consent often comes up in the contexts of legal ethics, medical treatment, and waiver of constitutional rights.
Informed consent occurs when there is agreement to an interaction or action rendered with knowledge of relevant facts, such as the risks involved or any available alternatives.
