本書是美國關(guān)于律師職業(yè)規(guī)范的著作，作者是有淵博知識和豐富實踐經(jīng)驗的著名教授，在法學(xué)界享有盛譽。作者詳細論述了客戶和律師的關(guān)系、專業(yè)律師的作用、如何避免和補救執(zhí)業(yè)失敗、憲法及時修正案對律師的言論自由和提供法律服務(wù)的保護等問題。作者不僅選取了大量典型案例和相關(guān)材料對其進行了合理編排，而且加入了自己的深層思索。是研究美國律師制度、司法制度的必備參考書，對中國律師及有志于從事律師職業(yè)的青年學(xué)子有重要的參考價值。
加入世界貿(mào)易組織表明我國經(jīng)濟發(fā)展進入了一個新的發(fā)展時代——一個國際化商業(yè)時代。商業(yè)與法律的人才流動將全球化，評介人才標(biāo)準(zhǔn)將國際化，教育必須與世界發(fā)展同步。商業(yè)社會早已被馬克思描繪成為一架復(fù)雜與精巧的機器，維持這架機器運行的是法律。法律不僅僅是關(guān)于道德與公理的原則，也不單單是說理論道的公平教義，還是具有可操作性的精細的具體專業(yè)技術(shù)。
