Experiencing Professional Responsibility melds the traditional rigor of a casebook with the needs and expectations of a new generation of law students. It takes a student through PR as the student will actually experience it as a lawyer鈥攕tarting with the formation of the attorney client relationship, client counseling considerations, and the ethical issues arising in the litigation/trial process, both civil and criminal. A separate chapter is devoted to the lawyer as a transactional advocate. Woven throughout the book are ethical issues arising when the lawyer鈥檚 duties as a zealous advocate are in tension with the lawyer鈥檚 equally important duties as an officer of the court. The realities of practicing law in a multiracial and multicultural America are highlighted in several chapters.
