Summary: "Beginning with the education of lawyers and the brand structure and history of the legal profession in Australia, this book examines the values, ethics and responsibilities of lawyers. It does so be traversing the various approaches to lawyering, and the essential communication skills of lawyers - including advocacy, etiquette and cross-cultural communication - before examining the mandatory duties of legal practitioners. In relation to those duties the book covers: •obligations to the client - contextual, tortuous and fiduciary obligations, as well as trust accounts and cost agreements; •obligations to the court and law; and •obligations to colleagues and third parties. In addition, the book examines access to justice, before concluding with an analysis of professional misconduct and the disciplinary system for lawyers." -- Book cover
