n4 The Court of Appeals, in holding that a referral fee agreement is not unenforceable as a matter of law, found that the Rules of Professional Conduct lack the force and effect of statute or case law and, therefore, they cannot be looked to for public policy. We disagree. While it may be true that the Rules are not the same as case law or statutes, see Ind.Rules of Professional Conduct Preamble, Scope (noting that a violation of the Rules cannot be used as a basis for civil liability), this does not necessarily mean that they evince no public policy.
