Legal ethics scholarship in Canada is still largely in its infancy. In Search of the Ethical Lawyer is thus an important and unique addition to that field. In combining the practical with the theoretical, it provides an accessible, provocative examination of some of the more difficult ethical issues confronting lawyers. - David Tanovich, professor in the Faculty of Law, University of Windsor
