    • Immediate, lifetime access to the digital copy of that edition of the textbook, and
    • Access to the Interactive Study Center where you can utilize outlining tools, self-assessment tools that will show you your strengths and weaknesses, and online study aids including curated excerpts and practice questions from leading study aids such as Examples & Explanations and Glannon Guides.

This casebook examines legal ethics from the perspective of plaintiffs’ lawyers. Specifically, this casebook offers a detailed discussion of who personal injury lawyers are, how they find clients, how they fund litigation, and how they usher complex cases to conclusion. Material also addresses: the role and regulation of lawyers; the legality and normative consequences of solicitation, attorney advertising, and referrals; the role of secrecy in a system ostensibly committed to transparency; the challenges posed by public-private litigation partnerships; and the vexing issues posed by class actions, aggregate actions, and MDLs.

Featuring cases, pleadings, ethics opinions, journalistic accounts, and scholarly analysis—alongside notes, questions, and problems—the casebook provides an accessible and contextualized study of professional responsibility. Students are also invited to synthesize their knowledge in a series of comprehensive case studies, including those that explore the opioid litigation, the GM ignition switch scandal, the Vioxx litigation, and Chevron’s environmental case in Ecuador.

Importantly, although the casebook is nominally focused on “the plaintiffs’ lawyer,” it does not just equip students to practice on one side of the “v.” Rather, the casebook’s grounded and contextualized material prepares students to litigate cases of all stripes and for both sides.
