Download or read book Professional Ethics and Practice for Scottish Solicitors written by Janice H. Webster and published by Butterworths. This book was released on 1996 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The maintenance of high ethical standards has never been more important for Scottish solicitors. The pressures of competition and consumer expectations have changed the way in which solicitors practise, and doubts about the best way to handle transactions arise more frequently. In a world of shifting values, the need to demonstrate honesty, competence and service of the highest quality remains constant. This well-established book has always been the first port of call for solicitors when ethical problems arise. A clear, simple and practical guide to good practice, the third edition retains the framework of the previous editions but includes much new material dealing with the changed commercial climate. All the major practice rules, in particular the Code of Conduct, the Accounts Rules 1995 and the Advertising and Promotion Rules 1995, are to be found in the appendices, together with material not readily found elsewhere such as the IBA International Code of Ethics. Previously a T & T Clarke publication.
