Legal Ethics and Court Craft is a comprehensive and practice-oriented work that examines the ethical standards, professional conduct, and courtroom skills required of legal professionals in India. The book is designed to provide a clear understanding of the duties, responsibilities, and moral obligations of advocates within the judicial system.
The text covers essential topics such as professional ethics, duties of advocates to clients, courts and opponents, contempt of court, misconduct, disciplinary proceedings, and the regulatory framework governing the legal profession. Alongside ethical principles, the book places strong emphasis on court craft, including advocacy skills, courtroom etiquette, case presentation, examination of witnesses, drafting, and professional behaviour before courts and tribunals.
Written in a clear, structured, and student-friendly manner, the book integrates statutory provisions, Bar Council rules, and relevant case law to bridge the gap between theoretical ethics and practical advocacy. Its practical orientation makes it especially useful for students transitioning from academic study to professional legal practice.
Authored by Krishan Keshav and published by Singhal Law Publications, this book serves as an essential guide for understanding both the ethical foundation and practical functioning of the legal profession.
