Legal Ethics and Legal Practice - Contemporary Issues

Klappentext Lawyers in common law systems today sense that they are subjects of unprecedented investigation, criticism and attack. Yet finding responses to public criticism is not easy. This is the first collection of essays on legal ethics which addresses the subject from a comparative perspective. It aims to reflect on some of the key issues, suggest possible arguments which might lead to solutions, and to provide readers, particularly those involved in practice, with strategies for devising more "ethical" practices. Zusammenfassung This is a collection of essays based upon papers delivered at a conference in Brisbane in August 1993. The conference was the culmination of a research project with both empirical and theoretical aspects. The essays range widely over the results of an empirical study of ethical dilemmas in legal practice and matters concerned with contemporary legal practice in the UK, Australia, and the USA.
