Description

These notes consist of lectures for the entire semester (weeks 1-13) and readings from the prescribed textbook Lise Barry (ed) Lawyers: Roles, Skills and Responsibilities (Thomson Reuters, 3rd ed, 2017). The notes are extremely extensive and cover every topic. Topics include: - introduction and perception of lawyers - lawyers in AUS - legal professionalism - regulation of the profession - retainers - parties to the retainer - duty of representation - lawyers' duty of care - lawyers' immunity - introduction to ethics theory and applied legal ethics - privilege - confidentiality - concurrent client conflicts - successive client conflicts - lawyer and client conflicts - fiduciary duties - admission to practice - discipline and regulation - abuse of process - ethics in negotiation - duty to the court (candour) - dealing with witnesses - legal ethics in criminal matters - ethics and in house counsel - access to justice - pro bono - costs - duty to account - professional courtesy - They served me well throughout semester 1 and allowed me to get 90 in my final quiz with a final grade of 82 overall.
