This problem-based book reflects the authors’ broad range of teaching, clinical, and policy-making experience. The book’s carefully crafted ethical problems challenge students to engage in a deep analysis and participate in lively class discussion.   Features include:   Real-world problems, most based on actual cases, in which students are asked to step into the shoes of practicing lawyers to confront difficult ethical dilemmas that often arise in practice. The law governing lawyers explained in an accessible question-and-answer format. A succinct explanation of relevant Model Rules and other law governing lawyers, including examples from disciplinary and malpractice cases. An opportunity for students, through specific examples, to reflect on their own conception of their professional roles on behalf of clients and their obligations to the legal system as a whole. A 400-page Teacher’s Manual with sample syllabi, advice on how to structure the course, and detailed discussion guides for all problems and questions in the text. The manual explains possible student responses to each problem, and includes follow-up questions and answers that allow even novice teachers to master the material. Instructors can adapt the materials in the manual to become their class notes.    Lively presentation of materials, including cartoons, tables, and photos. Clear and concise presentation through text and charts that summarize relevant law.
