About This Book
The essay presents a compact set of lectures on the aims and duties of legal practitioners, articulating rules that govern professional conduct. It emphasizes fidelity to the court, fidelity to clients, and fidelity to truth and honor; treats the lawyer as an officer of justice with distinctive privileges and responsibilities; and examines how to weigh and apply competing obligations in practice. Practical guidance addresses courtroom demeanor, respect for judges, restraint of temper, honesty, and the avoidance of delay or misconduct, while appendices supply illustrative notes and supplementary reflections.
