Description: "A Modern Legal Ethics proposes a wholesale renovation of legal ethics, one that contributes to ethical thought generally. Throughout, the book rejects the casuistry that dominates contemporary applied ethics in favor of an interpretive method that may be mimicked in other areas. Moreover, because lawyers practice at the hinge of modern morals and politics, the book's interpretive insights identify - in an unusually pure and intense form - the moral and political conditions of all modernity."--Jacket.
