A compendium of thought-provoking and analytical discussions of the major ethical issues affecting the legal profession, with special reference to the Caribbean. Here, for the first time, readers are presented with a comprehensive examination of the key topics, written by experts with a range of experience within the profession. Each chapter addresses a different topic, including: the canons or codes of professional ethics in the Caribbean; the formalities of the retainer; negligence; fiduciary obligations; professional undertakings; duties of the advocate to the court; legal professional privilege and confidentiality; contempt of court; professional misconduct; advertising; fees and costs; money laundering. The Ethical Lawyer: A Caribbean Perspective is essential reading for all students of law in the Caribbean, particularly those pursuing the compulsory course of Ethics, Rights and Obligations of the Legal Profession. It is also a useful reference for legal practitioners and judges in the Caribbean and throughout the Commonwealth
