About this title

Synopsis

Covering all of the essential issues and topics, Ethical Problems in the Practice of Law, Second Edition, offers straightforward exposition and a combination of principal cases and real-case problems that generate lively class discussion and encourage strategic analysis.

Engage your students with a contemporary approach that features:

• thorough coverage of the ethics codes and other law governing lawyers, including legal malpractice, disqualification, wrongful discharge, and criminal malfeasance
• concise, clear explanation of lawyer law in a readable question and answer format
• an overview of the American legal profession and the challenges facing lawyers in the 21st century
• more than 70 engaging problems for classroom discussion, some based on court opinions, others based on actual situations encountered by lawyers and law students
• principal cases edited with care and presented with questions for discussion
• tables and conceptual outlines that highlight relationships, illustrate concepts, and aid memory
• photos of many lawyers and parties discussed in the text
• more than 20 New Yorker cartoons illustrating classic ethical dilemmas

Thoroughly updated, the Second Edition now has a more flexible organization and coverage of important recent developments in the law, rules, and code, including:

• updates reflecting recent revision of the state Rules of Professional Conduct in response to the Ethics 2000 Commission
• new material on lawyers as counselors, the special duties of prosecutors, lawyer advertising, aggregate and class action settlements, and the revised Model Code of Judicial Conduct
• new problems and cases
• discussion of government challenges to the corporate attorney-client privilege
• pedagogical fine-tuning based on feedback from scores of enthusiastic adopters and students at more than eighty US law schools

Respected scholars Lerman and Schrag have created an accessible, problem-based casebook that generates rich classroom discussion in courses in Legal Ethics and Professional Responsibility.
