Martyn (law, U. of Toledo) and Fox (law, U. of Pennsylvania) present an updated textbook designed to engage students in the ethical challenges faced by those in the legal profession. Throughout the text, short problems introducing each section of the book ask students to evaluate the actions of a hypothetical law firm, Martyn and Fox. These are followed by citations to the relevant professional code provisions and rules, and the cases. For the new edition, the problems, cases, and materials have been updated, and notes focusing on practice context have been added in the form of short essays which examine the ethical challenges unique to specialized areas of practice, including criminal and insurance defense, representing organizations, governments and pro bono clients. The second edition also features two new chapters--control and communication, judicial ethics--to teach students about the expanding law governing lawyers.
