The publication of this book should put to rest any future controversy about whether legal ethics is a deserving topic of academic research and whether it should be taught in law faculties. The answer that Boon and Levin give is a resounding and uncompromising YES. In a convincing and powerful way, they have provided the necessary scholarly compliment and complement to the Lord Chancellors Advisory Committee on Legal Education and Conducts insistence that legal ethics should be at the heart of all stages of legal education. The Ethics and conduct of Lawyers in England and Wales is a book that should take pride of place on the bookshelves of any self-respecting lawyer or academic.quite simply an exemplary and superior piece of legal scholarship that merits attention by anyone who is interested in the workings of the legal profession and the development of law which of course, should mean everyone.Allan C.
