  Summary

Respected paralegal educator Therese Cannon has produced a new text that meets the needs of both students and instructors. In just 250 pages, "A Concise Guide to Paralegal Ethics" provides current coverage of all ethical principles from the perspective of the practicing paralegal. Designed for use in short ethics courses or when there is not enough time for case analysis, this exceptional text familiarizes prospective paralegals with the rules and codes that will influence their future careers.

The book covers essential topics for the paralegal:

-- major areas of legal ethics

-- how the rules affect legal assistants

-- regulation of lawyers and paralegals

-- unauthorized practice of law

-- confidentiality, conflicts of interest, advertising and solicitation, and fees and client funds

-- competence

-- special issues in advocacy

-- professionalism and special issues for paralegals

The author draws on her extensive experience to tailor the book for ease of learning and teaching:

-- each chapter begins with an overview and ends with hypothetical situations that require students to apply the rules and concepts covered

-- key concepts are highlighted in bold and defined in the margin; additional key terms are highlighted in italics

-- review questions test student understanding; discussion questions stimulate in-depth analysis

-- selected references appear at the end of each chapter
