Legal Ethics and Professionalism in Uganda, Brian Dennison and Pamela Tibihikirra-Kalyegira (editors)

Legal ethics and professionalism are at the core of legal practice. Advocates must know the requirements of the profession. In addition, being an ethical and professional advocate is about more than following rules. The ethical path a lawyer chooses defines their career and identity. This book is written with both the law student and the legal practitioner in mind. It offers a series of topical chapters addressing matters essential to professional advocacy. Topics range from the advocate-client relationship to judicial ethics. The contributing authors come from all walks of egal life. From professors to judges, from private practitioners to prosecutors, the perspectives of the authors cut across a wide range of experiences. These authors do more than state the law. The authors raise cutting edge issues and look forward to future challenges. The end result is an invaluable resource to present and future members of the Ugandan Bar.

This book includes examples of integration of Christian beliefs, ethics and practices into the subject of legal ethics and professionalism.
