Description
Legal Ethics: The Plaintiffs' Lawyer Nora Freeman Engstrom ISBN 9798892090551
Legal Ethics for Plaintiffs’ Lawyers examines professional responsibility through the distinctive lens of plaintiffs’ practice. The casebook offers an in-depth exploration of who personal injury lawyers are, how they find and represent clients, how litigation is financed, and how complex cases are managed from intake through resolution.
The text addresses core issues in legal ethics, including the role and regulation of lawyers; the legality and normative implications of solicitation, attorney advertising, and referral practices; the use of secrecy in a legal system committed to transparency; the challenges posed by public–private litigation partnerships; and the ethical complexities of class actions, aggregate litigation, and multidistrict litigation (MDLs).
Drawing on cases, pleadings, ethics opinions, investigative journalism, and scholarly analysis—supplemented by notes, questions, and problem sets—the casebook provides a contextualized and accessible approach to professional responsibility. Students are further invited to integrate their learning through comprehensive case studies, including examinations of the opioid litigation, the GM ignition switch scandal, the Vioxx litigation, and Chevron’s environmental litigation in Ecuador.
Although centered on the plaintiffs’ lawyer, the casebook equips students with ethical frameworks and practical insights applicable to litigation on both sides of the “v.” Its grounded, real-world approach prepares future lawyers to navigate complex ethical issues across a wide range of legal practice settings.

Most students receive their books in 3 to 9 business days.
-
Free rental returns, whenever you are done
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning early costs you nothing: it is the same free label, and sending it back sooner is welcome. Just be sure it reaches us by the semester deadline to avoid late fees.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.

Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book is always free.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price. Late fees stop once your book ships back or the total reaches the book's replacement value (its Brand New price) - you never pay more than that. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free: print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page, whether you send it back early or on the semester deadline. Cancelling a shipped rental for a refund is different: there, the return label cost comes out of your refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
