Description

Lawyers as Counselors A Client-Centered Approach 4th Edition David Binder

ISBN 9781640203907

This Fourth Edition of the landmark, paradigm-shifting text—the book that introduced and defined the concept of client-centered lawyering—builds on its foundational insights while responding to the realities of contemporary legal practice. The new edition explains and illustrates effective fact-gathering, counseling, and decision-making strategies for civil litigators, criminal defense lawyers, and transactional attorneys alike.

Through rich examples and practical frameworks, the text examines lawyering across a wide range of client relationships and settings, including representation of individual clients, first-time and repeat “players,” joint clients, organizational clients, and clients whose cultural, social, or experiential backgrounds differ from those of their lawyers. It highlights how client-centered principles must adapt to these varying contexts while remaining grounded in respect for client autonomy and informed choice.

Across all areas of practice, the Fourth Edition reaffirms the book’s enduring commitment to a vision of lawyering in which skilled, thoughtful, and ethically grounded attorneys use their legal knowledge, professional judgment, and lived experience to empower clients. The goal is not merely technical competence, but a legal culture in which lawyers genuinely care about their clients and support them in making decisions that align with their values, interests, and lived realities.

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, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. 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 with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it EARLY, before your semester return date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund, the same as cancelling a shipped rental for a 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.
