From the Publisher
In Print and Online, Professional Responsibility: A Contemporary Approach makes legal ethics fun and challenging by offering a comprehensive treatment of the law and ethics of lawyers' work in a contemporary and accessible format. Faculty will have the option of using the casebook as an innovative paper text or as the foundation for a computer interactive pedagogy that features thought-provoking internet links, as well as multiple choice questions that allow the professor to connect interactively with each student through TWEN, even in a large lecture class. Unlike traditional law books, Professional Responsibility: A Contemporary Approach provides the resources of both a traditional casebook and of the internet, including access to Westlaw and TWEN.
