The Hatteras lighthouse is more than a guiding light to seafarers, it also stands as a memorial to the keepers and their families who honored a public trust at great cost and who faithfully provided this valuable service. With the passing of time, however, the tides have gradually eroded the beach on which the sentinel stands, threatening to topple the structure. Thus one of the most daunting engineering tasks imaginable has been undertaken to save the lighthouse and move it to a new foundation 1,600 feet inland from its original site. This book commemorates the event and recalls th

In addressing these issues, Legal Ethics provides an explanation of the duties and dilemmas common to practicing lawyers in modern legal systems throughout the world.The authors focus their analysis on lawyers in independent practice in modern capitalist constitution
