About This Book

A series of lectures examines the ethical obligations and historical development of the legal profession, arguing that paid advocacy requires strict rules of conduct and tracing roots in Jewish, Roman, and English traditions. It critiques public attacks on courts, stresses that judges should be trained practitioners, analyzes the boundary between advocacy and judicial impartiality, and assesses the proper exercise of executive power. The author discusses contemporary social pressures on courts and proposes practical principles to preserve public confidence, ensure justice, and guide lawyers' conduct amid political and institutional change.
