American Legal Ethics: A Retrospective from 1997 to 2018

This book is an anthology of ethics columns appearing in the magazine of the American Inns of Court called The Bencher, from 1997 to 2018, with practical application to practitioners, judges and law professors.

Legal ethics in the U.S. has evolved over the last 20 years with the advent of technology as a required part of law practice and related obligations of lawyers that were not part of the rules 20 years ago. Basic principles, however, remain, and the articles included in this collection of legal ethics columns authored by Francis G.X. Pileggi over the last two decades should be of interest to anyone who needs to understand this important topic.
