Equality
Public trust in lawyers is on the decline. Some of this is inevitable: Hackgate, the financial scandal and Hillsborough have all involved lawyers at pivotal moments. But are lawyers just doing their jobs in these cases or crossing ethical boundaries? An analysis of professional rules, lawyer psychology and economics suggest lawyers need to do some work to rebuild trust and behave more professionally.


Speaker

  • Professor Richard Moorhead, Professor of Law and Professional Ethics and Director of the Centre for Ethics and Law, UCL
