Book Announcement: Lawyers and Fidelity to Law by Wendel in Paperback

Lawyers and Fidelity to Law W. Bradley Wendel One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Title of 2011 To read the entire book description or the introduction, please visit: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/9330.html Standard arguments within legal ethics attempt to show why it is permissible to do something as a lawyer that it would be wrong to do as an ordinary person. But in the view of most critics these arguments fail to turn wrongs into rights. Many lawyers think legal ethics is flawed because it does not accurately describe the considerable moral value of their work. In Lawyers and Fidelity to Law, Bradley Wendel introduces a new conception of legal ethics that addresses the concerns of lawyers and their critics alike. "This ambitious project is carefully executed and trenchantly defended. The book is especially good when confronting cases in which fidelity to the law appears to lead to perverse outcomes, such as encouraging obedience to unjust laws or making disobedience to unjust laws more difficult."--Choice Paper | $22.95 / £15.95 | ISBN: 9780691156217 Cloth | 2010 | $35.00 / £24.95 | ISBN: 9780691137193 eBook | $22.95 | ISBN: 9781400836581
