Supervision in the Legal Profession
Author: Michael John McNamara
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811541590
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
This book is about supervision in the legal profession with a focus on the experience of novice lawyers. It is the first of its kind. Until now there have been a range of books dedicated to professional supervision in many disciplines, but not law. Supervision is an important link between formal university-based legal education and independent practice and is relevant to a range of contemporary legal practice issues including changes driven by technology, workplace culture, regulating law firm management, and well-being. This book aims to be scholarly and practical. It provides an overview of how supervision is positioned in the legal regulatory framework; it describes how supervision is conceived in the legal profession and practice management literature; and draws lessons from clinical legal education and other professional disciplines. By reporting on survey data, this book also provides insights into practitioners’ attitudes and perceptions about supervision in legal practice.

Lawyers in Practice
Author: Leslie C. Levin
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226475158
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
How do lawyers resolve ethical dilemmas in the everyday context of their practice? What are the issues that commonly arise, and how do lawyers determine the best ways to resolve them? Until recently, efforts to answer these questions have focused primarily on rules and legal doctrine rather than the real-life situations lawyers face in legal practice. The first book to present empirical research on ethical decision making in a variety of practice contexts, including corporate litigation, securities, immigration, and divorce law, Lawyers in Practice fills a substantial gap in the existing literature. Following an introduction emphasizing the increasing importance of understanding context in the legal profession, contributions focus on ethical dilemmas ranging from relatively narrow ethical issues to broader problems of professionalism, including the prosecutor’s obligation to disclose evidence, the management of conflicts of interest, and loyalty to clients and the court. Each chapter details the resolution of a dilemma from the practitioner’s point of view that is, in turn, set within a particular community of practice. Timely and practical, this book should be required reading for law students as well as students and scholars of law and society.

Understanding Ethics
Author: Noel Preston
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781862879539
Category : Ethics
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
We encounter ethical challenges on a day to day basis in matters that involve what we call ethical values. Some of these challenges affect us as individuals but seem beyond our power to influence, such as a political decision about whether our nation should go to war. Other momentous ethical questions confront us in particular situations, such as when a road accident leaves a loved one brain damaged and medical practitioners seek our permission to turn off life support. Understanding Ethics introduces the frameworks of moral philosophy to analyse contemporary moral issues and perennial human dilemmas.While the early chapters of ethical theory remain substantially the same, the rest of the book is expanded with updated references, new case studies and an improved index. The new edition examines particular issues which reflect many of the social, scientific and cultural changes of the last decade, especially in an Australian context.Understanding Ethics is constructed in three sections.Part A introduces the nature, language and frameworks of ethics concluding with a chapter on ethical decision-making.Part B explores topical applied ethics issues of interpersonal and social significance ranging through bioethics, sexual ethics, environmental ethics, business ethics, political ethics and questions of war and social justice.Part C considers how we learn ethics and cultivate a moral life by exploring ethics education in schools and the workplace and finally contains an examination of how we sustain our ethical commitments across a lifetime while experiencing constant change.Topics covered:The Planet and the Environment Global warming and energy policy Population and poverty Global citizenship and the Earth Charter Animal rightsBioethics Stem cell research and cloning Euthanasia Biotechnology and developing countriesProfessional Life and Workplaces The media and journalism Teachers, schools and values education Business ethicsPolitics and Policy-making Social justice in Australian society Public sector ethics Conflicts of interest and codes of conductLife, Love and Sexuality Honesty and truthtelling Same sex marriage SpiritualityWar, Terrorism and Violence Capital punishment War including 'just war' theory Terrorism and torture
