Especially useful is the table of words, phrases, and modes of address which provides sample terms and expressions of common courtesy and respect which should be accorded to fellow members of the legal fraternity. Suitable for both junior and seasoned practitioners, the book provides invaluable guidance on conduct in becoming a member of a noble and honorable profession.
