| Abstract
|
:
|
"Legal representation of an organization is rarely as straightforward as representing a single person. The client in such cases is a construct--a legal fiction--that often operates through many individuals with different roles, views, and interests, and therefore requires an attorney to consider any number of special professional-responsibility issues. [This] is the first book to practically address ethics within the special contest of representing entities"--Provided by publisher.
