Abstract
Lawyers' ethics have been condemned for centuries, but they received little scholarly scrutiny until the last few decades. This volume brings together experts in the emerging field of legal ethics to discuss the central dilemmas of practising law. The collection cuts across conventional disciplinary boundaries to address the roles, responsibilities, and regulation of contemporary lawyers. Contributors address common concerns from diverse perspectives, including philosophy, psychology, economics, political science and organizational behaviour. Topics include the nature of professions, the structure of practice, the constraints of an adversarial system, the attorney-client relationship, the practical value of moral theory, the role of race and gender, and the public service responsibilities of lawyers and law students.
