Description

Ethics & Integrity in Law & Business: Avoiding "Club Fed" Michael Ross ISBN 9780769846910

Ethics & Integrity in Law & Business: Avoiding "Club Fed" offers a fresh and practical approach to the Professional Responsibility course. Designed to be focused, engaging, and even fun, the book emphasizes the ethical challenges lawyers actually face in modern practice.

The text is deliberately focused on:

• Law firm practice, where most graduates begin their careers;

• Business-client issues, which occupy much of law firm work; and

• The ethical rules that are most relevant to real-world decision-making.

It is also highly practical, featuring:

• Recurring, realistic scenarios drawn from everyday legal practice;

• Decision-making based on incomplete or evolving information, rather than a full case record;

• Ethical choices made under pressure from senior partners and demanding clients;

• Concrete steps and persuasive arguments for promoting ethical behavior; and

• Clear discussion of the consequences of remaining silent or taking no action.

To keep students engaged, the book incorporates a range of interesting and accessible materials, including:

• High-profile cases widely reported in the media;

• Challenging and nuanced conflicts-of-interest scenarios; and

• A distinctive mix of quotations from philosophers, authors, scientists, judges, economists, and humorists, along with comics from The Wall Street Journal, P. C. Vey, and others.

Together, these elements create a lively, practice-oriented resource that helps students understand not only the rules of professional responsibility, but how to apply them effectively in the pressures of real legal practice.
