Legal Ethics And Corporate Practice

This innovative casebook is organized around the work flow of lawyers involved in representing corporations. Each chapter integrates professional responsibility issues with a discussion of a particular type of task that both inside and outside counsel perform on behalf of business corporations. The book uses problems to illustrate how various types of work -- from advising a privately-held company to conducting an internal investigation of a multinational corporation -- generate challenges that cut across ethical categories. Each chapter begins with a detailed roadmap of the material that will follow, and most end with one or two detailed problems that require students to draw on that material
