Should a lawyer keep a client's secrets even when disclosure would exculpate a person wrongly accused of a crime? To what extent should a lawyer exploit loopholes in ways that enable clients to gain unintended advantages? When can lawyers justifiably make procedural maneuvers that defeat substantive rights? In The Practice of Justice William Simon, a legal theorist with extensive experience in practice, looks at these and other traditional questions about the ethics of lawyering. He charges that the profession's standard approach to these questions is incoherent and implausible.
