Routledge Lawyers' Ethics: Contemporary Dilemmas - Book

Legal professionals often face situations where they cannot reconcile their duties to clients with their obligations to society or themselves. When faced with competing responsibilities, many attorneys find they have little formal training or precedence to guide their decisions. This book addresses these difficult moments of choice. Many experienced lawyers, particularly those over forty, may have never taken a formal course on legal ethics. Furthermore, finding a general and up-to-date text to provide insight into these modern challenges can be difficult because there is no developed body of case law to rely on. This Routledge publication serves as a resource for understanding these contemporary dilemmas. By exploring the conflict between countervailing obligations, this text provides a way to navigate the complexities of legal practice. It is designed for those looking for insight into the ethical challenges that arise when professional responsibilities collide.
