Some argue that the legal profession's codes of conduct are a hotchpotch of rules without any clear ethical basis. For the first time, Boon and Levin systematically address these questions. The most important are as follows: Is self-regulation crucial to the survival of the legal profession? Without an independent legal profession, is justice possible? What fundamental philosophical principles govern ideas of professional conduct? Are the present codes regulating solicitors and barristers consistent with these principles? And, looking forward, are they appropriate when the legal profession faces radical social, political and economic change? These issues are of interest to everyone concerned with the dynamics of the justice system. Students, teachers and practitioners will find this the first comprehensive and interdisciplinary guide to and analysis of professional conduct and ethics in England and Wales.
