Lawyers on trial : understanding ethical misconduct, by Richard L. Abel.
Lawyer misconduct affects many people: clients, adversaries, opposing counsel, judges, the legal profession, and society at large.

Traditionally, agriculture has been favored with exemptions, exceptions, and special rules that reflect the uniqueness and the political power of the industry. In recent years, the study of agricultural law has expanded beyond its traditional scope to include issues of food safety and sustainability. Popular interest in agriculture has increased as consumers seek to know more about their food and where it comes from.
