Frequently the ethical attorney finds himself in a position where
he can no longer reconcile con-flicting responsibilities he owes to
his clients with those he owes so-ciety and himself. Faced with the
dilemma of choice among coun-tervailing and competing obliga-tions,
he has little training and precedence to guide him. If he is over
forty, the overwhelming probability is that he never took a course
on legal ethics; if he looks for a general, up-to-date text to
provide insight, he will look in vain. Nor is there a developed
body of case law from which to glean an appropriate course of
action. This vacuum of authoritative formulations of responsible
be-havior is a matter of concern not only to the legal profession,
but to all sectors of American society. Lawyers shape the mores and
thoughts of all of us. Their will is exerted not only in modifying
our national institutions, but ulti-mately our individual, personal
sense of values. This volume serves two impor-tant purposes: it
provides the interested professional and lay reader with an
appreciation of thespectrum of the ethical dilemmas confronting the
legal profession, and it provides a sense of balance about the
competing consid-erations present in each of these dilemmas. At a
time when the legal profession is under attack both from within and
without, this book represents some of the best critical thinking by
lawyers about their role and responsibilities in American society.
