Providing an ethical context introduces the reader to the responsibilities attached to every document a lawyer authors. For example, in order to write a client letter, a lawyer needs to understand the duties of candor and confidentially as well as the duty to explain the law so that the client can make informed decisions. Integrating the ethical context of everyday law practice, Johns teaches the reader to grapple with the difficulty of explaining the law clearly to lay people. This ethical context is provided for all the other writing exercises, for, in practice, the lawyer's professional responsibilities must guide the drafting of every document. Professional Writing for Lawyers prepares the reader for law practice, stressing the need for ethical responsibility, civility, and professionalism in the practice of law.
