Can someone be a good person yet act in a professional role that
may involve deception, procedural trickery, withholding
information, and working on behalf of terrible people and
institutions? This question is at the heart of legal ethics. Using
cases from around the common-law world, W. Bradley Wendel looks at
issues including confidentiality, the moral responsibility of
lawyers, and truth and deception in advocacy. He then examines the
classic questions of philosophy of law, including the nature of
law, positivism, natural law, the relationship between law and
morality, unjust legal systems, and the obligation to obey the law.
Finally, he considers the ethical issues surrounding the role of
lawyers, including criminal defense and prosecution, civil
litigation, counseling clients on the law, and representing
corporations. Combining the theoretical, philosophical, and
practical, his book will be of vital interest to students of law,
the philosophy of law, ethics, and political philosophy.
