Title: Lawyer discipline
Description: "The swelling membership of the legal profession, coupled with progressively wider concepts of misconduct in both practice and non-practice spheres, and greater visibility of disciplinary determinations, have generated a burgeoning jurisprudence on the discipline of lawyers. This book probes this jurisprudence, commencing with a principles-based approach as a prelude to a dedicated treatment of disciplinary procedures. It then elaborates upon how specific forms of misconduct translate into the disciplinary sphere. Its subject matter accordingly targets the boundaries of ethical legal practice, which in turn makes it directly relevant to legal practitioners, regulatory and professional bodies, and disciplinary tribunals."
