Ethics are an integral part of the legal profession. Ethics are important because they imbue a sense of orderliness and professionalism in the members of the profession, and hence instil in legal practitioners a sense of responsibility and accountability. Understanding Professional Conduct and Ethics for Legal Practitioners in Zambia covers the following areas: the core ethics of a legal practitioner; the obligations of an advocate; the fraternity of lawyers; undertakings; disciplining an advocate; the conduct and ethics of prosecutors; and judicial officers' conduct and ethics. The book includes the Judicial (Code of Conduct) Act, the Legal Practitioners' Act and the Legal Practitioners' Practice Rules.

The backbone of any stable country is its economy and most specially its economic stability. This is very reason why institutions have been put in place to protect the economy. Zambia is no exception to this state of affairs as like many countries it is a victim of economic crimes. The handbook on economic crimes is an attempt to give a glimpse on the law surrounding this field of law. The book traverses both the legal and institutional framework in the area of corruption, money laundering, economic sabotage and terrorism among others. It addresses the functions of institutions such as the Anti-Corruption Commission, Drug Enforcement Commission, Anti-Money Laundering Unit and Zambia Revenue Authority among others. This is a succinct yet comprehensive guide on economic crimes in Zambia. It is the hope of the author that this will spark interest in this particular field of law among authors, lawyers and practitioners in related fields.
