The Model Rules of Professional Conduct provides an up-to-date resource for information on legal ethics. Federal, state and local courts in all jurisdictions look to the Rules for guidance in solving lawyer malpractice cases, disciplinary actions, disqualification issues, sanctions questions and much more. In this volume, black-letter Rules of Professional Conduct are followed by numbered Comments that explain each Rule's purpose and provide suggestions for its practical application. The Rules will help you identify proper conduct in a variety of given situations, review those instances where discretionary action is possible, and define the nature of the relationship between you and your clients, colleagues and the courts.
This Draft Local Audit Bill, sets out the government's vision for the future of local audit. It has been designed to implement the government's commitment to disband the Audit Commission and re-focus audit on helping local people hold their councils and other local public bodies to account for local spending decisions. The aim of this new draft bill is to develop a locally focused audit regime, but one still retaining a high quality of audit of local government spending. The government views the current audit arrangements for local public bodies as inefficient and unnecessarily centralised, which has created a system of weak cost incentives and therefore become too focused on reporting to central government and not local people. The new audit framework will also allow bodies to appoint their own auditors from an open and competitive market. The Bill also gives new responsibilities to the Financial Reporting Council, which will act as the overall regulator for auditors; the National Audit Office, which will set the code of audit practice; and the professional audit bodies will also have a role in regulating and monitoring audits.
How should judges and legislators address challenges arising at the frontiers of biomedicine? What if it became possible to edit the DNA of embryos for enhanced traits, gestate a fetus in an artificial womb, self-modify brain implants to provide new skills or bring a frozen human back to life? This book presents an innovative legal theory and applies it to future developments in biomedicine. This legal theory reconceptualises the role of legal officials in terms of moral principle and contextual constraints: 'contextual legal idealism'. It is applied by asking how a political leader or appeal court judge could address technological developments for which the current law of England and Wales would be ill-equipped to respond. The book's central thesis is that the regulation of human conduct requires moral reasoning directed to the context in which it operates. The link between abstract theory and practical application is articulated using future developments within four areas of biomedicine. Developments in heritable genome editing and cybernetic biohacking are addressed using Explanatory Notes to hypothetical UK Parliamentary Bills. Developments in ectogestation and cryonic reanimation are addressed using hypothetical appeal court judgments. The book will be of great interest to scholars and students of medical/health law, criminal law, bioethics, biolaw, legal theory and moral philosophy.

Including a discussion of legislative powers, constitutional regulations relative to the forms of legislation and to legislative procedure.
This draft Bill comprises three parts with four schedules, and it contains measures designed to facilitate more consistent, targeted and effective regulatory enforcement through a) the establishment of a statutory corporation, to be known as the Local Better Regulation Office (LBRO), in England and Wales; and b) the introduction of a new expanded framework for regulatory sanctions in the UK which will enable Ministers to confer on specified regulators new civil sanctioning powers, in relation to particular criminal offences, including fixed monetary penalties, discretionary requirements and enforcement undertakings. This draft Bill follows on from the recommendations of the Hampton Review 'Reducing administrative burdens: effective inspection and enforcement' published in March 2005 (information can be found at www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/budget/budget_05/other_documents/bud_bud05_hampton.cfm) and the Macrory Review 'Regulatory justice: making sanctions effective' published in November 2006 (information can be found at www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/regulation/reviewing_regulation/penalties/index.asp).
