Legal Ethics in the Practice of Law

Legal Ethics in the Practice of Law takes a practice-oriented, real-world-problem-driven approach to the discipline of legal ethics. Richard Zitrin has been the lead author from the outset. When it was initially published in 1995, it was believed to be the first core-course law school text written by practicing lawyers. It was also the first ethics text to cover diversity, sexism, racism, substance abuse, and mental health, subjects that had never been part of the regular ethics curriculum. During the course of its five editions, it has been adopted for use by professors at over 100 law schools. Each edition continues to break new ground. Its most recent edition was published in 2019.
