Summary

Legal Ethics does a superb job with a topic that could be tedious if presented any other way. It utilizes lively examples, current and classic case studies, figures and illustrations, dozens of real-live situations of lawyer and nonlawyer misbehaviors-including bizarre misbehavior-and legal issues involving such people as President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates and Timothy McVeigh. These teaching and learning devices help convey the great significance of the professional responsibility issues facing the legal profession. The book pays particular attention to such topics as how lawyers are regulated, unauthorized practice of law, confidentiality and conflicts of interest. The material is rounded out with such valuable supporting materials as a full glossary, ethics codes, a listing of more than 70 legal ethics Web sites, a movie guide of a number of entertaining movies that center on legal ethics or the legal profession and an exceptionally well-written instructor?s manual.
