David Luban is one of the world's leading scholars of legal ethics.
In this collection of his most significant papers from the past
twenty-five years, he ranges over such topics as the moral
psychology of organisational evil, the strengths and weaknesses of
the adversary system, and jurisprudence from the lawyer's point of
view. His discussion combines philosophical argument, legal
analysis and many cases drawn from actual law practice, and he
defends a theory of legal ethics that focuses on lawyers' role in
enhancing human dignity and human rights. In addition to an
analytical introduction, the volume includes two major previously
unpublished papers, including a detailed critique of the US
government lawyers who produced the notorious 'torture memos'. It
will be of interest to a wide range of readers in both philosophy
and law.
