Regulation of Lawyers: Problems of Law & Ethics, 9th Edition
Product ID: 1725730
An exceptionally popular casebook, Regulation of Lawyers is a sophisticated, lively mix of up-to-date materials, realistic problems and relevant examples that covers the full range of professional responsibility issues. Author Gillers goes ""beyond the rules"" to get at the subtle differences between proper and improper conduct in the real world. Drawing from an excellent selection of case law, legal literature, challenging notes and examples from current headlines, this accessible text helps students understand the rules, regulations and code of ethics that will govern their professional behavior. The Ninth Edition has been updated to include current case law on a variety of topics, including the Due Process Clause, ethical and legal obligations of prosecutors and denial of privilege for in-house counsel in the EU. It also addresses a range of new issues such as the ethics of outsourcing legal work, the use of social media, and the effects of technology and cross-border practice on traditional models of regulation. This edition is also shorter than the previous edition, enhancing teachability without sacrificing clarity or its comprehensive scope.

My Professor swears by it...
My Professor swears by it and likes it because of all of the problems in the book (some of which are pretty good) but besides the problems, it makes the topics much more boring than they should be. The book could definitely be organized better.

Worst CB I've ever read
This doesn't even read like a CB. The only similarity between this and a law school CB is that it sometimes has actual case excerpts in it. In the author's attempt to come across as "casual" or "laid back," he strays right into the territory of "um...a professional actually wrote this?!" I'm halfway through the semester and have given up on reading it. Angry at myself for buying it.
