Why Lawyers Behave as They Do

FROM THE PUBLISHER

A professor of law, Paul Haskell explains the professional rules that govern how lawyers behave and which permit--or require--conduct that laypersons may find unethical. In his criticism of the traditional role of lawyers, Haskell proposes an alternative--and controversial--model of behavior.

FROM THE CRITICS

Booknews

Haskell (law, U. of North Carolina-Chapel Hill) sets out the traditional sense of responsibility in which lawyers try to maximize the gain for their clients even if it means ignoring behavior or facts that serve justice but hinder the case. After explaining how the philosophy can lead lawyers into conduct that outsiders find unethical, he condemns the practice and offers an alternative and controversial model of behavior. Paper edition (unseen), $18.00. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
