Professional Responsibility in Focus provides a user-friendly, problem-based approach to learning the law governing the legal profession, covering subjects including the attorney-client relationship, competence, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, the lawyer as an advocate, special issues in criminal practice, issues concerning the delivery of legal services in general, access to justice and judicial ethics.

This exceptional casebook offers a comprehensive, updated exposition of the law governing lawyers and judges, incorporating new caselaw and other recent developments. Real-world scenarios throughout the text provide students numerous opportunities for students to apply what they have learned and solidify their understanding of important concepts.

? Substantial material added to the first chapter defining and exploring professional identity

? Focus on changes in technology (particularly artificial intelligence) that may pose partial solutions to the access to justice gap, while creating new problems and issues in the areas of client confidentiality and billing practices
