Government Lawyering: Duties And Ethical Challenges Of Government Lawyers, Andrew Flavelle Martin Oct 2018

Government Lawyering: Duties And Ethical Challenges Of Government Lawyers, Andrew Flavelle Martin

Dalhousie Law Journal

Are government lawyers different than lawyers in private practice? If so, why does it matter?

The need for this book is pronounced.
