Starting Out: Resources for New Lawyers

Bennett on Lawyering is a practice-based guide, focussing on general issues in the practice and business of law.

This indispensable guide provides you with what you need to know about the National Committee on Accreditation rules process and provincial bar admissions rules, as well as timelines and hiring norms in various jurisdictions.

In this book, Professors Patrick Longan, Daisy Floyd, and Timothy Floyd combine what they have learned in many years of teaching and research concerning the lawyer's professional identity with lessons derived from legal ethics, moral psychology, and moral philosophy.

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.
