The year's most important events in the U.S. legal profession and legal ethics, with up-to-the-minute research and rules, are explored by Tulane law students from an advanced ethics seminar of spring 2010 and several independent study papers. The collection is edited by Tulane legal ethics professor Steven Alan Childress, and he surveys the big stories of 2009-2010 in his Foreword. The Benefit Tulane PILF Series of law books helps to fund the school's public interest organization and the placements it sponsors for the representation of indigent clients and public causes.
