This book examines the ethical development of American lawyers against a historical, cultural, and religious backdrop. Goes beyond the rules and statements of professional organizations, such as the American Bar Association, and considers how lawyers actually perceive their responsibility for their communities and the ethical standards of their profession.
"American Lawyers and Their Communities is yet another exemplar of Thomas Shaffer's unique scholarship and insight. He is the most erudite and eloquent of our writers on the community of ethics of lawyers." —Monroe H. Freedman, School of Law, Hofstra University
Mary Shaffer assisted in the research, interviewing, and writing of chapters five through seven.
