The contemporary lawyer's skills go beyond court battles to encompass negotiation, mediation, collaborative practice, and restorative justice. In The New Lawyer, Julie Macfarlane explores the evolving role of practitioners, articulating legal and ethical complexities in a variety of contexts drawn from Canadian and American legal literature as well as from her own empirical research. The result is a thought-provoking exploration of the increasing impact of alternative, consensus-seeking strategies on the lawyer-client relationship, as well as on the legal system itself.

The legal profession needs a wake-up call, and The New Lawyer resoundingly provides it. Macfarlane persuasively critiques the outmoded habits of the profession and lays a strong foundation for the new settlement-oriented, problem-solving approach to lawyering. - David Hoffman, Chair, Collaborative Law Committee of the American Bar Association Section of Dispute Resolution

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent for forward thinking attorneys, law professors, and students,
By Dave (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Lawyer (The): How Settlement is Transforming the Practice of Law (Law and Society) (Paperback)
Excellent book for the collaborative attorney. Small font will send you in search of the reading glasses but well worth the stain.
