Problems in professional responsibility

by Andrew L. Kaufman

This new edition, a revision of the longest-running professional responsibility title, includes a new author and a new title that emphasizes the two distinctive features of the book. Completely redone by Kaufman and Wilkins with a multitude of new problems, text, and excerpted materials, it still features the popular problems method of the earlier editions. A whole new dimension, however, has been added throughout, and in an additional section that features recent empirical work on lawyers, it examines how large-scale economic, demographic, and institutional changes are likely to shape the norms of legal practice and the careers of lawyers in the twenty-first century. A teacher's manual is available.
