Offers a program of comprehensive skills development where the instructor wants to cover ethics material; a traditional course on professional responsibility where the professor wants to stress lawyer activities and role plays; a "short course" on professional responsibility; and any skills course or clinical course where coverage of legal ethics is desired.

Ethics of the Lawyer's Work (American Casebook Series)

Moliterno, James

Ethics & Professional Responsibility

West Academic Publishing

This book is designed to facilitate the introduction of international, transnational, and comparative law issues into a course on Professional Responsibility. The book is very accessible for law students (and their professors). The chapters can be used in any combination and in any order. The book can be assigned or recommended as optional reading to supplement a domestic-only course to advance the students’ understanding of their own system.

Global Issues in Legal Ethics

Harris, George

This book is cut in a new mould and suitable for an emerging format of law school course. This book supports a course on the lawyer in a law firm litigation department. It includes substantive material on procedure and evidence, and is predominantly devoted to sets of materials that students will use, directed by their professor, to create an elaborate simulation of litigation department practice. The materials will place the students in a variety of typical litigation department settings, requiring them to engage “outside the course-book” legal materials to successfully engage the various activities into which the simulation materials lead them. The simulation materials will be of two types. First, some materials will be usable to create a series of isolated activities of different litigation department types. Second, one set of simulation materials will create a running, connected event, based on a single matter that the students can walk through step by litigation step.

The Litigation Department Lawyer (American Casebook Series)

Rules & Procedures

This is the first primary Civil Procedure course book to incorporate skills assignments into the book. The book actively involves students in the application of civil procedure concepts. It Includes three simple simulation cases, one contracts based, one torts based and one blended case. Sample documents from real cases are also included. Students using this book will engage in experiential learning exercises, including drafting the jurisdictional allegations for complaints, drafting very simple pleadings and motions, and responding to supervisor email messages. The book contains the statutes, rules, and edited cases that are the staples of traditional Civil Procedure casebooks, incorporating them into an experiential learning approach.

Experiencing Civil Procedure (Experiencing Law Series)

This book is designed to facilitate the introduction of international, transnational, and comparative law issues into a course on professional responsibility. As a supplement, the book can be assigned or recommended as optional reading in an otherwise domestic-only course. The book can also be the main text for a summer-abroad or other compressed course in comparative lawyer ethics course. The book is very accessible for law students and their professors. The chapters can be used in any combination and in any order. Each section ends with numerous hypotheticals that can be used to support class discussion or be the basis of student presentations.

Global Issues in Legal Ethics 2d

Paton, Paul

Legal Education

This book is designed to support the expansion in scope of the Professional Responsibility course. While attending to the Model Rules and the disciplinary process, Cases and Materials on the Law Governing Lawyers allows treatment of a wider range of sources of the law that governs lawyer conduct than the ethics codes and a wider range of control devices than the disciplinary process. The result is a more dynamic set of materials that presents a picture of the constraints on lawyer conduct that is closer to the realities of practice.
 Cases and Materials on the Law Governing Lawyers presents the material in a manner similar to the presentation of the material in other mainstream law courses: the law governing lawyers is just that, law, and students seem to respect the course's place in the curriculum when the materials are presented as such. In most other courses, the law studied affects client conduct; the lawyer interacts with it as an expert, a step removed from the law's application. Not so in the Professional Responsibility course, in which the law is about the lawyer's conduct and relationships. Students find motivation for the course when they recognize this simple insight.

This unique book is designed to introduce non-lawyers to what law is and how it is interpreted and made, and to prepare prospective law students for law school. Although primarily intended for those interested in going to law school, it is also very useful for those who simply want a working knowledge of how the American legal system actually works. The text is highly pragmatic, helping the reader understand not just theory but the realities of how law works and what lawyers actually do to assist clients in the real world. To that end, it contains a sample legal problem along with the necessary legal materials to address it and an illustrative answer.

An Introduction to Law, Law Study, and the Lawyer's Role

Lederer, Fredric

In this newly updated volume, Moliterno and Lederer take a fresh and innovative look at the subject of law and what law study and the practice of law entail by combining a traditional academic viewpoint with elements of law practice and ethics as it continues to be widely used in orientation and introductory courses. The American legal system can be hard to understand. Going to law school is both difficult and anxiety-producing. Introduction to Law is designed to help in both areas. Written by two highly-experienced legal educators at America's oldest law school, Introduction to Law provides the reader with a written equivalent of William &amp; Mary Law School's famous introductory law school week. Often light-hearted, this useful and pragmatic book combines an innovative introduction to the American legal system with material on how to read and understand court cases and, critically, the lawyer's interaction with the client. All too often, legal texts ignore people, especially the client whose need for legal advice first engages the legal system. The text shows the reader how a lawyer must ascertain facts and goals from a client and then apply what the new lawyer (or law student) has learned about law and its interpretation to solve the client's problem. Revised in 2010 to be fresher, more readable, and more timely in its current events references, Introduction to Law is an ideal book for a soon-to-be law student or for anyone who wants a better understanding of how our legal system and lawyers function.
