In this book, Dr. Robert J. Levine reviews federal regulations, ethical analysis, and case studies in an attempt to answer these questions.

More than a discussion of professional regulation, this treatise addresses issues that every lawyer faces, such as conflict of interest, the client-lawyer relationship and confidentiality. In addition, specialized concerns are examined, including the role and responsibilities of lawyers as house counsel, government attorneys, mediators, prosecutors, and participants in the political process. This comprehensive survey also covers lawyer advertising, pro bono work, lawyer competence and other topics of modern practice. An entire chapter of this valuable reference is devoted to judges and (...) the Judicial Code. Westlaw® queries are included. (shrink)
