Lawyers at Play
Author: Jessica Winston
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198769423
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Many early modern poets and playwrights were also members of the legal societies the Inns of Court and these authors shaped the development of key genres of the English Renaissance, especially lyric poetry, dramatic tragedy, satire, and masque. But how did the Inns come to be literary centers in the first place, and why were they especially vibrant at particular times? Early modernists have long understood that urban setting and institutional environment were central to this phenomenon: in the vibrant world of London, educated men with time on their hands turned to literary pastimes for something to do. Lawyers at Play proposes an additional, more essential dynamic: the literary culture of the Inns intensified in decades of profound transformation in the legal profession. Focusing on the first decade of Elizabeth's reign, the period when a large literary network first developed around the societies, this study demonstrates that the literary surge at this time developed out of and responded to a period of rapid expansion in the legal profession and in the career prospects of members. Poetry, translation, and performance were recreational pastimes; however, these activities also defined and elevated the status of inns-of-court men as qualified, learned, and ethical participants in England's "legal magistracy": those lawyers, judges, justices of the peace, civic office holders, town recorders, and gentleman landholders who managed and administered local and national governance of England. Lawyers at Play maps the literary terrain of a formative but understudied period in the English Renaissance, but it also provides the foundation for an argument that goes beyond the 1560s to provide a framework for understanding the connections between the literary and legal cultures of the Inns over the whole of the early modern period.

Book Description
"Whelan has written a book that anyone interested in the law should queue to buy." – The Times (of the 1st edition) “A classic work” – Michael Beloff KC, Former President, Trinity College Oxford, Treasurer, Gray's Inn Lawyers are universally unpopular, but is that justified? Aren't lawyers necessary for justice? This book uses real-world examples, case studies, and commentary from practitioners to answer this question and to reveal the many and varied strategies American and English lawyers use to protect clients. It shows how lawyers tackle their conflicting duties, and highlights the choices lawyers everywhere routinely make through their power of decision. What emerges are new ways of understanding the critical role lawyers play in society – and their professional responsibilities. This new edition considers the litigation surrounding Donald Trump and the role played by his lawyers. It includes a new chapter on SLAPPs and the way the law is used to advance clients' interests. This book presents a unique and fascinating account of what happens when lawyers' duties to clients conflict with their duties to the legal system, and looks in detail at the ethical codes and laws that regulate their conduct.

Lawyers in Practice
Author: Leslie C. Levin
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226475174
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.
