competition in the lawyer career field. When new students
finish college they are looking for full-time jobs

5. Ethnic Issues
 Some issues of lawyers’ ethnics require us to go
deeper into our purposes and values than others. In the
past thirty years, there has been a growing debate over
whether one can be both a good lawyer and a good
person.
 Lawyers need to be able to support their clients by
being a good lawyer and being a good person.

6. Client Relationships
 Professor Thomas Shaffer identifies two aspects of the
lawyer-client relationship that affects the view of
lawyers’ ethnical obligations.
 One is the inequality inherent in the relationship: the
lawyer frequently has considerable power over the
client.
 The second is a concern with the client’s goodness
and the extent of the lawyer’s responsibility through
association with the client as a lower moral being.
