By Prof Adrian Evans<\/strong><\/p>\n

To be launched by\u00a0Mr Michael McGarvie, <\/strong>Legal Services Commissioner and CEO, Legal Services Board Victoria.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Good Lawyer\u201d<\/em> explores the ethical and professional challenges that confront people who work in the law \u2013 or are considering it \u2013 and offers principled and pragmatic advice about how to overcome such challenges.<\/p>\n

This book takes a holistic approach that begins with your innate humanity. It urges you to examine your motives for seeking a career in law, to foster a deep understanding of what it means to be \u2018good\u2019, and to draw on your virtue and judgement when difficult choices arise, rather than relying on compliance with rules or codes.<\/p>\n

The Good Lawyer analyses four important areas of legal ethics \u2013 truth and deception, professional secrets, conflicts of interest, and professional competence \u2013 and explains the choices that are available when determining a course of moral action. It links theory to practice, and includes many examples, diagrams and source documents to illustrate ethical concepts, scenarios and decision making.<\/p>\n
