The fourth edition of this respected textbook examines the
regulation and conduct of lawyers in England and Wales and
addresses new developments in the field, including those in
international practice, sexual misconduct, and the environment.
Focusing on the practice of, and interrelationship between,
solicitors and barristers, the book provides background to current
arrangements while exploring contemporary rules of conduct, systems
of regulation, and controversies. The four main parts cover client
duties, wider obligations, key contexts, and regulation. Parts one
to three provide an academic introduction to the subject of
lawyers’ ethics. They are suitable as a core text for a semester
course at undergraduate level, providing grounding for vocational
training, such as the Solicitors’ Qualifying Examination.
Comparisons are made with conduct rules applying in other leading
common law jurisdictions where relevant. These parts also explore
links between the subject of ethics and the development of
lawyers’ practical skills. Part four applies the general
principles to three elements of regulation: practice, admission,
and discipline. The approach throughout is socio-legal. While the
essential law is described, relevant social science research
informs consideration of issues and debates.
Lawyers' Skills helps students develop the legal skills required
for successful practice in the modern solicitor's firm. The book
equips students with a solid understanding of the theory and
concepts underpinning the key skills areas of legal writing and
drafting, interviewing and advising, practical legal research, and
advocacy. Guidance is also provided on a range of other
professional skills which should be mastered before going into
practice, including effective time management, negotiation, and
email etiquette. The inclusion of realistic examples from practice,
tasks, and reflective exercises emphasizes the interactive nature
of skills as a subject and encourages students to develop,
practise, and refine their legal skills. Chapter summaries,
diagrams, and self-test questions are also featured throughout and
provide additional learning support to students. The text is
essential reading for all LPC students and is also a useful source
of reference for newly-qualified practitioners. Digital formats and

This collection explores developments in the regulation of legal
services by examining the control of the markets in several key
countries and in jurisdictions within countries. The contributions
consider emerging adjustments in regulatory structures and methods;
examine the continuing role, if any, of professionals and how this
may be changing; and speculate on the future of legal services
regulation in each jurisdiction. The introductory and concluding
chapters draw together similarities, differences and conclusions
regarding directions of change in the regulation of legal services.
They consider the emergence of alternatives to professionalism as a
means of regulating legal services and some implications for the
rule of law.
This book aims to produce lawyers who can debate, criticise and
change professional ethics as well as understand their underlying
rationale. Written by the author of the leading work on the
subject, The Ethics and Conduct of Lawyers in England and Wales,
this book is aimed at the undergraduate or postgraduate student
taking a half or full course in the subject. The book is divided
into four parts dealing with the professional and regulatory
framework for delivering legal services, the obligations owed to
clients, wider duties and responsibilities and practice settings.
It sets out the important background to the modern practice of law,
and explains the theoretical underpinning of professional ethics
and its everyday application through conduct rules and principles.
Extracts from legislation, cases and conduct rules are provided,
and comparative issues are considered where relevant. The book is
also interactive, raising issues and posing questions that will
encourage students to engage with the material as they read, which
will also be helpful for classroom discussion.
This book examines lawyers' contributions to creating and
maintaining the rule of law, one of the pillars of a liberal
democracy. It moves from the European Enlightenment to the modern
day, exploring the role of judges, government lawyers, and private
practitioners in creating, defining, and being defined by, the
demands of modern society. The book is divided into 4 parts
representing the big themes. The first part considers lawyers'
contribution to the growth of constitutionalism, the second, the
formulation of roles and identities, and the third the formation of
values. The fourth part focuses on the challenges faced by lawyers
and the rule of law in the past 50 years, the neoliberal period,
and how they challenge both conceptions of lawyers and the rule of
law. Each part is illustrated by defining events, from the
execution of Charles I, through the Nuremberg Trials, to the
insurrection by supporters of Donald Trump in January 2021.
Although the focus is on England and Wales, parallel developments
in other jurisdictions, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the
USA, are considered. This allows analysis of lawyers' historical
and contemporary engagement with the rule of law in jurisdictional
systems based on the Common Law. Each chapter is thematic, but the
passage through the book is broadly chronological.
