Legal ethics in the practice of family law: Playing chess while mountain climbing
Journal of Business Ethics 16 (8):809-816 (1997)
| Abstract | Current literature suggests that the adversarial legal system may undergo some changes or may even be transformed by a recent influx of women lawyers into the profession. Such research indicates that women may approach ethical problems differently than men. This paper examines the responses of family law lawyers in Vancouver, British Columbia and the surrounding Lower Mainland to a hypothetical case which requires an assessment of professional responsibilities in light of potential conflicts in personal moral values. | |||||||||
