Professionalism and Ethics in the Legal Office 1st Edition – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

Professionalism and Ethics in the Legal Office covers a range of areas, including, but not restricted to, issues of confidentiality, potential conflicts of interest, client and co-worker interaction, diversity, honesty, integrity, professional development, and professional demeanour. This book identifies the parameters of ethical behaviour required of a law clerk or legal assistant, includes a brief examination of relevant rules of professional conduct from some sample jurisdictions (e.g., the Rules of Professional Conduct of various provincial law societies, including the LSO), and assists students in recognizing and developing appropriate ethical practices for both within and outside of the office.
