Professional Conduct (Paperback, Rev ed)

This manual underpins the vocational stage of training for the Bar by developing the reader's understanding of the principles of professional conduct at the Bar and the application of those principles to ethical issues frequently arising in practice. It includes full discussion of the letter and the spirit of the Code, together with the full and current text of the Code and annexes thereto issued by the Bar Council. The manual focuses particularly on building students' knowledge and application of the Code of Conduct; their understanding of the broader ethical considerations to be taken into account for working at the Bar today; and their awareness of potential professional conduct matters. It identifies a variety of the common difficulties encountered in practice and gives clear and helpful guidance on the correct approach. The manual also discusses broader ethical considerations relevant to those practising at the Bar.
