Ethical Problems in the Practice of Law, Seventh Edition is built around dozens of ethical problems, nearly all drawn from actual events. Instead of reading judicial opinions, students read clear narrative explanations of the law and are then presented with ethical dilemmas in the contexts in which lawyers first encountered them. The problems challenge students to decide what they would do if presented in practice with dilemmas in which every possible course of action is problematic. Students must draw on formal ethics rules, other relevant law, their perceptions of clients’ needs, public interests, and their own ethical principles to engage in deep analyses and participate in lively class discussions.

Bundle also includes Ethical Problems in the Practice of Law: 2027–2028 Statutory Supplement.
