legal ethics
HOT LINKS
The following is a very personal and incomplete guide to Internet resources which have at least some tenuous connection to the topic of legal ethics. If you know of a good site I have missed, or if any of these links have changed since the last update, please e-mail me at legalethic@aol.com. Click on the chilli or 'new' icon to make the link.
Search for books on Legal Ethics
ABA Center for
Professional Responsibility extensive database of US
primary materials; new and people pages, including information on the 'Ethics
2000' Committee responsible for reviewing the operation of the 1983 Model
Rules of Professional Conduct.
American Bar Foundation site includes
tables of contents 1995- for the ABF journal, Law & Social
Inquiry and access to the ABF/NISSI socio-legal research library.
Australian Legal Information
Institute (University of Technology, Sydney, Aus.) another
large database, this time of Australian materials, including cases, legislation,
government reports and a miscellany of secondary materials.
Findlaw.com (Stanford University, USA):
In case there is anyone out there who is not aware of this indispensable
resource, Findlaw provides access to a wealth of internet legal resources,
including a searchable full text database of law journals on the internet.
Many of the sites listed here can also be traced through Findlaw.
Institute for Business and Professional Ethics (De
Paul University, USA) website includes a range of resources including the
Institute's newsletter and an e-journal called Online Journal of Ethics
(currently at vol.3). Resources so far have a strong orientation to business
and organizational ethics
Onati International Institute for the Sociology of
Law The IISL was founded in 1989 as a joint endeavour between the
Basque Government and the Research Committee on Sociology of Law/International
Sociological Association. Its website provides information on its academic
programme (workshops, Summer Courses, Masters Programme) publications, alumni,
documentation centre, etc. Its library and documentation centre holds over
50,000 references on the sociology of law (including resources on the legal
professions and ethics). Requests for bibliographic searches can be made
via the website; results are dispatched (promptly!) via e-mail.
MOSAIC (University of
Konstanz, Germany) MOSAIC is an international and multi-disciplinary
group of scholars interested in issues of moral education and development.
The site contains conference papers and general news and views about MOSAIC
and its activities.
National Centre for Legal Education
(Warwick University, UK): a new centre focusing on the development
of best practice in teaching and learning law. The site includes the NCLE
Newsletter, a number of full text papers and reports, and links to other
sites. At present there is nothing substantive on teaching legal ethics,
but we are assured the NCLE would welcome interest and contributions in this
area!
National Institute for Law, Ethics
and Public Affairs (Griffith University, Aus): relatively
new website profiling the work of this prolific research centre - full text
newsletter available, plus details of conferences and publications, etc.
Web Journal of Current Legal Issues (Newcastle
University, UK): one of relatively few internet law journals not dedicated
to IT law, but virtually no output on legal ethics either - yet. Good generalist
coverage of mostly UK and EU Law. Worth a visit if you are not already familiar
with this site.
