Parker and Evans's Inside Lawyers' Ethics

Parker and Evans's Inside Lawyers' Ethics provides a clear and engaging entry point into the study of ethical lawyering, equipping readers with the skills needed to identify and resolve ethical challenges throughout their legal careers. Now in its fifth edition, Parker and Evans's Inside Lawyers' Ethics analyses the law of lawyering and professional frameworks and practises through four theoretical lenses – adversarial advocacy, responsible lawyering, moral activism and ethics of care. A new chapter on professional competence and care discusses the lawyer-client relationship and the legal and ethical duties that flow from this relationship. Coverage of modern challenges such as technological competence, uses and challenges of generative AI, and climate change has been strengthened throughout the text. The book updates the applicable law and conduct rules, including extracting key rules from the Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules and Barristers Rules, and providing new cases that set out required standards of professional conduct.
