William Chriss, former Executive Director of the Texas Center for Legal Ethics, has written a thoughtful new book, The Noble Lawyer, published by Texas Bar Books. In it, Chriss examines the public’s current low regard for the legal profession and explains why that perception is fueled by misconceptions about who lawyers are and what they do. He draws on history and current events to present a compelling defense of the profession and the rule of law. The book can be ordered here.
