Synopsis

Excerpt from Essays in Legal Ethics This little book is a compend of lectures delivered at various times to my own students and has been produced in response to numerous requests for publication. I have endeavored to treat the subject as an integral part of undergraduate study and to confine it within the lines of the regular law course. But little space has been devoted to ethical theory, the design of the work being rather an exposition of ethical precept, and only the practical phases of accepted modern theories have been presented. The legal aspects of practice, and questions arising thereon, have been touched only incidentally and then in briefest terms. To a large extent professional conduct, like all other forms of ethical affirmation, is a matter of opinion, yet, in many of its manifestations, we may discern underlying principles that seem to compel the rule. Whenever possible I have endeavored to show this principle in connection with the rule that is founded upon it. In stating a rule or precept I have uniformly presented that which seems to have received the largest amount of adherence and whenever opportunity offered have reinforced same by a citation of judicial authority. These latter opportunities have necessarily been few. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
