Man in His Original Dignity: Legal Ethics in France (Routledge Revivals)

Leubsdorf, John

Routledge

This work explores the professional standards of the French bar as it moves, rapidly but with misgivings, into a world of competition, organization and globalism. It focuses on the ideology of French legal ethics in its historical and social contexts, rather than the details of the rules governing "avocats". Those rules are technical and, in many respects, similar to the rules in effect in the USA. But lawyers in France and the United States base their rules on strikingly different pictures of lawyers. French avocats classify their duties as a series of virtues - probity, honour and delicacy - to follow one official formulation. By contrast, lawyers in the USA, to judge from the way they justify their rules, consider their fellows scoundrels who, without regulation, would cheat their clients, opposing parties and other lawyers. The author's goal is to describe, in their cultural and institutional contexts, the professional ideals of the French bar as it remembers its past and faces its future.

<p>The Sixth Edition provides a summary, yet thorough, survey of all the topics regularly included in civil procedure courses. Since the last edition, there have been dramatic if mystifying changes in the law of pleading, which the authors reckon with in a completely revised chapter. Pretrial proceedings, including such matters as case management and Alternative Dispute Resolution, now occupy a chapter of their own, reflecting their decisive importance for most cases. Discovery and summary judgment are likewise treated in their own chapters. Subjects such as e-discovery, class actions, and transnational litigation have required special treatment. And over the years the authors have supplemented the historical perspectives of the first edition with insights drawn from economics, empirical research and comparative law, while removing material no longer relevant.</p>
