A collection of essays - pointed, provocative, ironic, sometimes funny - on the relationship between law and ethics. Is trust in your fellow human being more important than relying on legal rules? Why are lawyers depressed? Are money and ambition all that matter? Does an evil person deserve vigorous legal representation? Should young lawyers take ethical advice from old lawyers? How should lawyers be regulated? What do we do about the pitiful state of access to justice? How can a lawyer be a good person?
