Legal Ethics

Legal Ethics takes a fresh approach to the study of the significant professional responsibility issues facing the legal profession. It includes dozens of real-life examples of lawyers and nonlawyers misbehaviors, figures and illustrations to convey the more difficult concepts, case law, hypothetical situations, review questions and news events of famous and infamous people as they relate to chapter topics. Discussions that will be of particular interest to students center on legal ethics issues as they relate to Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates, Newt Gingrich, Patty Hearst and Timothy McVeigh. Supporting materials include current analysis of the latest changes to the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, ethics codes, a complete glossary and more than 70 legal ethics Web site addresses. It even includes a legal ethics movie guide featuring reviews of entertaining movies that have a connection to legal ethics or the practice of law. Finally, as a complement to the text, there is instructor's manual replete with teaching suggestions, full case briefs for all case law in the text, chapter review questions and complete test banks for each chapter including essay questions and answers.
