Professional Responsibility: Problems of Practice & Profession, Fifth Edition (Aspen Casebook Series), Used [Hardcover]

Known for helping students develop the ability to make sound judgments, the concise Professional Responsibility: Problems of Practice and the Profession, Fifth Edition , is adaptable to a host of teaching styles. Scores of realistic problems and hallmark hypothetical problems call on students to develop a cogent philosophy of lawyering as they master basic concepts and prepare for the MPRE. Modular, flexible organization allows professors to adapt the material to a variety of courses and clinical programs. An extensive Teachers Manual is full of suggested lesson plans, questions and answers, role-playing models, and sample syllabi for two- and three-hour classes. The Fifth Edition presents a major reorganization of the problem-based classic to accommodate a doctrinal approach, while preserving its unique emphasis on particular areas of practice. Comprehensive treatment of technology shows its effect on every aspect of the law. In keeping with the casebook's focused, concise quality, fewer, more selective cases of particular importance for the upper-level problem course are featured. As well as updating problems and discussion throughout the text, multiple choice questions (moved to the website for the course to facilitate addition and rotation of problems) now reflect the new format of the MPRE. Through the many problems that require keen professional judgment, Professor Crystal emphasizes more than ever the need for students to develop a philosophy of lawyering.
