Case studies and discussion questions offer contemporary, practical examples of the application of ethics. The book also addresses the challenge of ethical action and offers techniques to deal with ethical conflicts.This edition has been comprehensively updated and discusses the implications of advances in legal technology, mental ill-health in the profession and the complexities of government legal practice. A new chapter covers lawyers’ ethical obligation to address the legal challenges posed by climate change. Written by an expert author team, Parker and Evans’s Inside Lawyers’ Ethics empowers readers to identify ethical challenges and resolve them through good decision-making practices.
