Lawyers in Australia is a wide-ranging and detailed examination of the legal profession and its ethical framework.

This leading text contextualises the professional responsibilities of lawyers by squarely placing them within the broader ethical and sociological context. Thoroughly revised and updated to incorporate the latest developments and cases pertaining to the Legal Profession Uniform Law which now applies in NSW, Victoria and WA, the new edition also addresses the corresponding (and contrasting) provisions which apply in the other Australian jurisdictions.

Key changes to the new edition include:

Inclusion of Western Australia in the Uniform Law jurisdictions;

Incorporation and discussion of the 2022 amendments to the Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules;

Updated and expanded case law on all aspects of the lawyer's duties;

Refreshed epilogue to reflect current issues facing lawyers, including GenAI, climate change, and the role of the profession.

In addition to being an ideal text for law students undertaking their required Ethics and Profession Responsibility course, Lawyers in Australia has been described by reviewers in the following terms: "An invaluable resource for the profession. Comprehensive and very readable. Keep this book within arm's reach."
