Law, Lawyering and Legal Education: Building an Ethical Profession in a Globalizing World

This book provides a sustained investigation of the theoretical and practical aspects of legal practice and education, synthesizing and developing nearly thirty years of Professor Sampford’s critical thought, analysis and academic leadership. First, the book explains the significance of the ’critical’, ’theoretical’ and ’ethical’ dimensions of legal education and legal practice in making more effective practitioners. Second, it explores the old/new challenges and opportunities for ethical lawyers.

Charles Sampford is the Foundation Dean of Law at Griffith University, Australia, (a law school which achieved a top 50 world ranking within 20 years) who has led a range of national and global research centres and currently directs the multi-university Institute of Ethics, Governance and Law.

Hugh Breakey is a Research Fellow at Griffith University’s Institute for Ethics, Governance and Law, Australia, and President of the Australian Association for Professional and Applied Ethics.
