Ethics of the Lawyer's Work (American Casebook Series)

This short book is ideal for ethics coverage in the classroom component of clinics, externships or simulation courses. The materials are organized by the activities of lawyering, allowing classes to cover the ethics issues of interviewing, counseling, negotiating, investigating, and advocacy. Most of the hypotheticals posed at section ends are "running hypotheticals." Rather than appearing in one part of the book and then disappearing, they "run" through the book from activity to activity. As a result, a hypothetical based on a representation activity at the end of one section or chapter is likely to reappear as a new episode in another representation context at the end of another section or chapter, allowing students to follow the story of the representation from client interview to negotiation to advocacy settings.
