Anwaltsrecht

The handbook provides an overview of the fundamentals of legal professional ethics in Switzerland, particularly in the canton of Zurich, and is enriched with practical cases and proposed solutions. It addresses, among other things, professional rules, admission to the legal profession, and oversight of professional practice. Illustrative examples from current case law introduce the respective topics and deepen the theoretical presentation of the central questions of legal ethics. As the president and court clerk of the Zurich supervisory commission for lawyers, the authors offer a comprehensive insight into Zurich's practice of legal ethics. This book is aimed not only at students and candidates for the bar exam but also at practitioners who are confronted with questions regarding legal ethics.
