Understand the fundamental principles of lawyering and how to apply them to professional conduct

Ethics and Legal Professionalism in Australia introduces students to the ethics and professional responsibilities that they will encounter in practice. It outlines the concepts, rules and conflicts relating to legal ethics in addition to exploring the ambiguous ethical aspects associated with being a lawyer.

The text offers a thematic approach, with each chapter focusing on one theme and how it relates to lawyers’ professional obligations. It aims to encourage the development of students’ ‘moral compass’, guiding them on how they might address ethical dilemmas and difficult situations before they are faced with these in reality.

This third edition retains the original focus and principles of the previous editions but has been thoroughly updated to address the considerable changes to the legal profession and the environment.
