This fascinating volume on religious ethics examines the tensions and conflicts between key tenets of Quaker philosophy and the contemporary practice of law in the United States. Based on original research and surveys of Quaker lawyers across the country, the work juxtaposes core beliefs such as truth-telling, harmony, equality and community mindedness against the need for lawyers to effectively serve their clients in a strongly adversarial legal system. The research shows that many Quaker lawyers have deep concerns about the current state of the system and emphasize mediation and extra-legal dispute resolutions as possible alternative practices. Sagafi-Nejad is a retired civil lawyer and civil rights advocate. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
