Beneficial for law or philosophy students, or practicing lawyers,
Ethics and the Legal Profession includes articles by eminent
philosophers and lawyers that explore moral problems in legal
practice. The text is divided into six sections, each dealing with
an important issue: The History and Organization of the Profession
in the United States; The Moral Critique of Professionalism; The
Adversary System; Conflict of Interest and Professional Judgment;
Perjury and Confidentiality; and Making Legal Services Available.
Combining in-depth case studies with careful analysis, the editors
help students and professionals distinguish between moral and
technical judgment, become clearer about the meaning of moral
discourse in the workplace, and better appreciate the higher
callings of their profession. Raising provocative questions about
the rationale and limits of professional responsibility, this text
provides insights into the ethics of the legal profession at a time
when technology, globalization, and the changing economics of
lawyering are reshaping the profession of law in ways still hard to
predict.
