Current important events in the U.S. legal profession and legal
ethics, with useful research and analysis of the rules and the
profession's current status, are analyzed by Tulane law students
from an Advanced Professional Responsibility seminar. The
collection is edited by Tulane legal ethics professor Steven Alan
Childress, and he previews in his Foreword the students'
explorations of the big stories of lawyers and the legal field from
2011. Purchase of this book benefits Tulane's Public Interest Law
Foundation, a nonprofit student group that funds public interest
placements and indigent client representations throughout the
country. The timely topics include: false guilty pleas and candor
to the court, ethical considerations in keeping the client's files
as a digital record, legal outsourcing and competition, the dilemma
of student debt in a slowed legal economy, the practice of law by
legal websites like LegalZoom, the capital defense of Jared Lee
Loughner, Justice Scalia's constitutional seminar for conservative
congressmembers, sensitivity to "cultural competence,"
prosecutorial relationships with key witnesses, bar discipline for
behavior outside the practice of law, negotiation ethics,
hybridized MDL settlements, and the advocate-witness rule. This
book is a detailed and timely follow-up to the 2010 Hot Topics
book, also published in the Benefit Tulane PILF Series by Quid Pro
Books. Its chapters are accessible to lawyers and, not bogged down
with heavy legal jargon, to anyone interested in current topics of
interest about the state of and conflicts in the legal profession
and the justice system.
