This volume reviews and takes stock of legal ethics, at a time when
the legal profession globally is experiencing considerable change
and challenges, through a re-evaluation of writings that are in
some way foundational to the field. Legal ethics, understood here
as the study of the ethics and professional regulation of lawyers,
has emerged as a novel and important field of study over the last
50 years. It is also one that displays considerable diversity in
its scholarship, with distinctive philosophical and
interdisciplinary approaches emerging over the years to underpin
and supplement the doctrinal ‘law on lawyering’. With
contributions from leading and emerging scholars from the United
States, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the
United Kingdom, this collection offers not just critical insights
into the authors’ chosen texts, but a thought-provoking
commentary on the current state of legal ethics scholarship and its
future directions. In addition to being an essential resource for
scholars and students of legal ethics theory, it will also be of
interest to academics and researchers in legal theory, the
philosophy of law, and applied ethics.
Written by leading authors with extensive experience in both
teaching and practice, this established and trusted title equips
the student with all the techniques of legal research, analysis,
and argument they will need for their law course and beyond.

Ethics and regulation have been catchwords of the late 1990s, yet
relatively little has been written about the ethical discourse and
regulation of the legal professions in England and Wales. This book
attempts to subject the ethical discourse of the English legal
professions to in-depth analysis and sustained critique. Drawing on
insights from moral philosophy, social theory, the sociology of the
legal profession, public law theories of regulation, and the
extensive American literature on lawyers ethics, it argues that, in
seeking to provide definitive answers to particular problems of
professional conduct, professional legal ethics has failed to
deliver an approach which requires lawyers actively to engage with
the ethical issues raised by legal practice. Through an analysis of
the core issues facing lawyers, the authors locate this failure in
the profession's reliance on a liberal and adversarial role
morality that conceptualizes the ethical values of human dignity,
autonomy and equality in a formalistic and narrowly legalistic
manner. The text is a wide-ranging and thought-provoking analysis
written for lawyers, ethicists and policy-makers interested in this
neglected area of pr
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

The U.S.-EU trade and investment relationship, what many call the
transatlantic economy, is a mutually beneficial and globally
significant relationship. The Transatlantic Trade and Investment
Partnership (T-TIP) is a potential reciprocal free trade agreement
(FTA) that the United States and the European Union (EU) are
negotiating with each other. The United States and EU seek to
enhance market access and trade disciplines by addressing remaining
transatlantic barriers to trade and investment in goods, services,
and agriculture by negotiating a comprehensive and high-standard
T-TIP through reducing and eliminating tariffs between the United
States and EU; further opening services and government procurement
markets; enhancing cooperation, convergence, and transparency in
regulations and standards-setting processes; and strengthening and
developing new rules in areas such as intellectual property rights
(IPR), investment, digital trade, trade facilitation, labor and the
environment, localisation barriers, and state-owned enterprises
(SOEs). This book provides context for the T-TIP negotiations;
analysis of possible trade and investment issues in the
negotiations; and discussion of issues for Congress. The U.S.-EU
negotiations on T-TIP are not public. The information and analysis
in this report on issues in the negotiations are based on publicly
available information.
