5-0 out of 5 stars Great Seller!
Thanks so much! The book is in perfect condition, and the shipping was really fast.

5-0 out of 5 stars Very timely
I got my book very quickly by using expedited service.I'm glad I chose this vendor because my book came very quickly and in excellent condition. I had initially ordered it through Amazon but for some reason I don't think they had it in stock because I had been waiting for over two weeks and they still showed that the item wouldn't ship out for two more weeks.Well class was starting and I couldn't wait.I would definitely recommend this vendor.

3-0 out of 5 stars Could have been better
Ethics for the Legal Professional by Deborah K. Orlik barely earns three stars.It aims to cover basics of topics like unauthorized practice of law, confidentiality, and conflict of interest in what it describes as "plain English and an upbeat tone to keep readers engaged."Commendable as this is, the author strays from plain English and an upbeat tone into an annoying, breezy style that seems like more of a disjointed, unrehearsed presentation than a book that has gone through six editions over two decades.For example, in discussing the improper division of fees as an aspect of unauthorized practice of law, the author begins a paragraph with, "Repeat after me:Fee splitting is evil and I'll never do it."While some may appreciate such an attempt at humor, in a textbook it comes off as unprofessional.Additionally, chapters are not well organized and seem to jump from topic to topic without clear connections.

On the positive side, the text does contain numerous review questions and discussion materials, along with relevant case law which clarifies some of the issues.But that barely compensates for the drawbacks.Hopefully the seventh edition will rectify the situation.

Editorial Review

Product Description
Legal Ethics, second edition, provides a variety of methods designed to improve the reader's understanding of ethical rules. The premise of the book is that students should be given clear information so that they can understand complex concepts-because all legal professionals are required to act with the same professional care as attorneys. It provides a thorough and substantive analysis of the major principles that affect how the practice of law is regulated. To provide an example of the lawyer-disciplinary process, a provocative look at the disbarment proceedings against President Clinton is presented in the first chapter. Other real-world examples and hypotheticals are provided throughout the chapters in order to facilitate a better grasp on the technical material.Visual aids are provided throughout the text, so that critical and difficult concepts can be better understood.Review questions at the end of each chapter can also serve as a springboard for further, independent study, if desired.A legal ethics movie guide at the book's end is also included, where the author reviews over twenty, entertaining movies that have a connection to legal ethics or the practice of law. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Legal Ethics
As a school book it is very interesting and informative, not as dry as many are.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Most Interesting Textbook I've Ever Read
This textbook is power-packed with useful information.Whether the reader is a paralegal, legal assistant, or just the curious type, s/he will have a hard time putting it down.It is stuffed with caselaw used to highlight specific lessons and "Not Quite Lincoln" passages that depict extreme examples of ethical mishaps in the field of law.The opening two chapters are an extensive introduction into legal ethics.The chapters on the "Unauthorized Practice of Law" and "Fees and Fee Sharing" were immensely helpful in answering questions I've had since I began my education in Paralegal Studies.
This textbook is written with an entertaining flair and style not often used in college textbooks--making it much easier to read and retain.The study of legal ethics showcases attorneys (and sometimes their staff) at their very worst and Kent Kauffman does an outstanding job using their professional blunders to inform the reader of just what and what not to do.
The only thing better than reading his book, is taking his class (where you'll have to read the book anyway).BUY THIS BOOK! ... Read more

Product Description
David Luban is one of the world's leading scholars of legal ethics. In this collection of his most significant papers he ranges over such topics as the moral psychology of organisational evil, the strengths and weaknesses of the adversary system, and jurisprudence from the lawyer's point of view. His discussion combines philosophical argument, legal analysis and many cases drawn from actual law practice, and he defends a theory of legal ethics that focuses on lawyers' role in enhancing human dignity and human rights. In addition to an analytical introduction, the volume includes two major previously unpublished papers, including a detailed critique of the US government lawyers who produced the notorious 'torture memos'. It will be of interest to a wide range of readers in both philosophy and law. ... Read more

Product Description
Many law professors aim to probe deep ethical issues in class. But they need to cover the material that the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination requires. The Rotunda Nutshell fulfils that need as it digests the Model Rules in an engaging, analytical, and often critical way. In a surprisingly pithy manner, this book places the Rules in an historic context that lets the student understand problems with prior versions of the Rules and the Model Code. The Nutshell also analyzes the American Law Institute's Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers, Third. This approach frees up precious class time for important normative issues. And, this Nutshell helps your students come up with better answers to your Socratic questions than you anticipated. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Concise and Correct Review (Mostly)
As a former disciplinary counsel in NY, I found this book to be right on in many respects, and glossing over in others.For the most part, a good beginning for the practitioner in sorting out the hoary and complicated issues that crop in various ethical situations.

5-0 out of 5 stars best approach to confusing topic
I've looked at a few PR study guides, but they all are organized rather amorphously, so, for instance, my CB goes topically.I find it easier to organize my thoughts and outline when arranged by rule--which is what this book does.

It takes the Model Rules and addresses each, and the larger topic it addresses, separately.It selectively incorporates the Restatements and Model Code, telling you when one varies from another.It is by far the clearest synopsis of "soft" rules that I have found--far better, in fact, than the same author's "Professional Responsibility" for the "Black Letter Series," which approaches by topic.

10. A Modern Legal Ethics: Adversary Advocacy in a Democratic Age

Asin: 0691148139
Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan
Editorial Review

Product Description

A Modern Legal Ethics proposes a wholesale renovation of legal ethics, one that contributes to ethical thought generally.

Daniel Markovits reinterprets the positive law governing lawyers to identify fidelity as its organizing ideal. Unlike ordinary loyalty, fidelity requires lawyers to repress their personal judgments concerning the truth and justice of their clients' claims. Next, the book asks what it is like--not psychologically but ethically--to practice law subject to the self-effacement that fidelity demands. Fidelity requires lawyers to lie and to cheat on behalf of their clients. However, an ethically profound interest in integrity gives lawyers reason to resist this characterization of their conduct. Any legal ethics adequate to the complexity of lawyers' lived experience must address the moral dilemmas immanent in this tension. The dominant approaches to legal ethics cannot. Finally, A Modern Legal Ethics reintegrates legal ethics into political philosophy in a fashion commensurate to lawyers' central place in political practice. Lawyerly fidelity supports the authority of adjudication and thus the broader project of political legitimacy.

Throughout, the book rejects the casuistry that dominates contemporary applied ethics in favor of an interpretive method that may be mimicked in other areas. Moreover, because lawyers practice at the hinge of modern morals and politics, the book's interpretive insights identify--in an unusually pure and intense form--the moral and political conditions of all modernity.

4-0 out of 5 stars Useful and Approachable
This is a better than average casebook, with multiple choice questions and answers, on point cases, good commentary and a writing style that can be approached by the layperson.It is almost worth taking a look through or a read if you regularly engage lawyers, are involved in a lawsuit, or are thinking of doing so.You will learn a lot, and better understand the whats and whys of the ethics of legal practice.

3-0 out of 5 stars Decent Textbook, but reading a Rule Book is more Helpful
Normally a law school text book is filled with case after case. Well for those of you who hate reading case after case, then this is the book for you.

On average there is only 1 case per chapter, with the remainder of the chapter devoted to ABA opinions and or Law review articles. While the articles are insightful, they really don't give you any more of an understanding of the ABA Rules, than just reading the rules with the commentary. What is good about this text, however, are the discussion problems at the beginning of the chapter and the multiple choice problems at the end of each chapter. These problems will help you better understand and think about the ABA Model rules.

Overall the book isn't too bad, but you if you have a copy of the ABA rules along with the commentary then this book becomes worthless for the most part. ... Read more
