Legal Ethics, 3rd Edition

Review from previous edition “Everything is well explained; everything is easy to follow; very pertinent to today’s ever-changing world.” * Ayesha Riaz, University of Greenwich *This textbook allows students the opportunity to put questions of legal ethics into real life situations, challenging them to think about what they would do. * Lucinda Griffiths, University of Kent *“The overall structure and communication of information within the text is excellent, which has made it by far the most student-cited text in seminars.” * Dr Alex Green, University of York *“A great introduction to legal ethics for LLB students. The ‘scandal’ and ‘what would you do’ exercises are engaging and the material is presented in an accessible way.” * Lisa Spirakes, University of East London *

Jonathan Herring writes on criminal, family and medical law, as well as legal ethics. He researches how the law relates with the things that matter most to us: our family, our friends, our bodies. His writing questions the assumption that we are capable, independent, self-sufficient, autonomous people who need legal rights to protect us from invasion from others. Instead, he suggests we are profoundly vulnerable and interdependent. He has written over 250 books and articles on a wide range of issues including caring; vulnerable adults; older people; children’s rights; marriage; ownership of body parts; pregnancy; rape; and disability. He also has experience of working with the media, including broadcast work with BBC Radio 4 and 5.
