SYNOPSIS

Noting that legal ethics is about professional safety as much as morals, Gillers (New York U. School of Law) presents the new edition of a casebook on the rules that govern lawyers in American jurisprudence. Separate sections address the client-lawyer relationship, conflicts of interest, special roles, avoiding and redressing professional failure, and first amendment rights of lawyers. Annotation c.
