Legal Ethics and Professional Responsibility

Zusatztext The book is a timely and ... rather thought-provoking addition to the growing literature, both scholarly and professional, on the ethical obligations and professional responsibilities of lawyers and judges. ... It is Thornton's chapter and the succeeding one by Alison Crawley and Christopher Bramall similarly examining the topic of Professional Codes, Ethics and Solicitors, which British readers and also those researching the legal profession in Britain will find of particular interest. It provides a window on some of the major directions being pursued by scholarship and teaching practice in this field. It offers provocative starting points for further reflections upon which of those directions are likely to be the more effective and conducive to justice. The sequence of topics through the various chapters is well thought out and provides a coherence, unity and interest not always found in published collections of conference papers. Zusammenfassung This collection of essays by leading judges, professional lawyers and academics, should be of interest to anyone concerned with legal ethics and professional responsibility generally.
