Government lawyering

"Government lawyers carry a broad public law mandate focused on the interests of the Crown, which presents different ethical and professional responsibilities than private practice lawyers. This ... guide is the only text on government lawyering that goes into legal practice and ethical issues unique to lawyering for the Crown, drawing out a standard of government lawyering. It also offers examples which illustrate how the exercise of professional duties with the additional public and public service duties lead to concrete distinctions in practice. This text also looks at the relationship between Canada, First Peoples and reconciliation and examines the balancing of public interests in this context. It includes a sample of "Code" of government lawyering and "Advice on Giving the Best Possible Advice". This book is a ... guide for new and seasoned government lawyers alike."--Provided by publisher.
