Legal Ethics combines real life problems, doctrinal and statutory analysis, and carefully edited readings from a wide range of disciplines. Many of the chapters can be used as independent units for courses focusing on ethical problems in corporate practice, tax practice, family law, and public interest law. The new edition also includes extensive revisions and updating to reflect:

· changes in the Model Rules adopted by the American Bar Association in 2002 and 2003

· recent corporate scandals and the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation

· the War on Terror and its impact on issues of lawyer-client confidentiality

· new research on the distribution of legal services and pro bono work

· technological developments that affect regulatory issues, such as internet advertising and non lawyer services

· new Supreme Court decisions and other leading cases on issues such as effective assistance of counsel, conflicts of interest, and prosecutorial misconduct
