Description

Exploring the complex relationships between law and ethics, this introduction to legal ethics examines key issues such as confidentiality, truth and deception in advocacy, and the nature of law.

W. Bradley Wendel considers cases from around the common-law world to investigate topics including the moral responsibility of lawyers, unjust legal systems, and the obligation to obey the law. He also looks at the role of lawyers in criminal defense and prosecution, civil litigation, and representing corporations.

This comprehensive book combines theoretical, philosophical, and practical perspectives on legal ethics, making it a valuable resource for students of law, philosophy, ethics, and political philosophy.
