Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a historical analysis of the legal profession and legal codes, focusing on introducing comprehensive reforms. It argues that the legal profession suffers from shortcomings in professional ethics, manners, and education. The author suggests improvements for each area, including extending ethical considerations beyond clients to include all trial participants, improving courtroom decorum, and enhancing legal education by creating dedicated professional schools. The book also delves into the issue of legal codes, arguing for the implementation of written comprehensive codes to replace the complex and heterogeneous system of laws inherited from England and Dutch settlers. The author discusses the advantages of such a code, including increased accessibility, clarity, and ease of enforcement. This book offers valuable insights for legal practitioners, scholars, and policymakers seeking to improve the legal profession and legal systems.
