Description

This volume is concerned with the future education and conduct of lawyers, in particular through the rediscovery and setting out of the ethical dimension of legal education. The major themes of the book include: the importance of the moral dimension to legal thought and action and the possibility of incorporating ethics into the legal curriculum; the public interest in raising the standard of lawyers' conduct through education rather than regulation; and the need for more to be understood of the emerging economic, political, professional and adversarial structures of the profession, which are likely to govern the development of ethical behaviour.

Reviews

Ethical Challenges will be welcomed by those considering, designing and teaching courses in legal ethics and to all those more generally concerned with the development of the moral philosophy and culture of lawyers. -- Emily Henderson * Cambridge Law Journal *
