SKILLS, ETHICS AND VALUES FOR LEGAL
PRACTICE, 2ND EDITION
Bobette Wolski
Skills, Ethics and Values for Legal Practice is the
second edition of Wolski, Legal Skills: A Practical
Guide for Students. The text has been completely
revised, with a greater focus on ethics and values.
The second edition assists readers to develop
the skills required to interview and advise
clients proficiently, conduct legal research,
analyse and solve legal problems, write effective
and succinct legal letters and documents,
negotiate and mediate disputes and litigate a
range of matters before a court of law. It also
provides in-depth analysis of the ethical and
professional responsibilities of a practitioner
when dealing with clients, the court, opponents
and other participants in alternative dispute
resolution processes.
Since the last edition, developments in a number
of skills areas have necessitated the creation
of two new chapters: “Ethics, Values and
Professional Responsibilities” and “Mediation
and Collaborative Law”.
