We are very grateful to Camille Cameron, John Howe and Rob Rosen who very kindly read and helpfully commented on previous incarnations of various chapters of this book. Linda Haller at the University of Melbourne deserves an extraordinary vote of thanks for her extremely helpful and detailed comments on drafts of almost all chapters, and for going on to try out the drafts in the classroom before publication. We are also grateful to those colleagues with whom we have each taught legal ethics or researched with over the years, whose companionship and ideas have helped encourage and inspire us in the development of much of the material published here, including John Braithwaite, Camille Cameron, Andrew Crockett, Linda Haller, Matt Harvey, John Howe, Joanna Krygier, Suzanne Le Mire, Guy Powles, Stephen Parker, Josephine Palermo, Ysaiah Ross, Michelle Sharpe and Michelle Taylor-Sands. We have also benefited greatly from the insight and experience of many legal practitioners and regulators to whom we have talked during the course of writing this book. Particular thanks are due to Janet Cohen and also to Brind Zwicky-Woinarski QC, Greg Connellan, James Leach, Richard Meeran, and Pam Morton as well as some others who should remain anonymous. Zoe Jackson (research assistant and ‘Footnote Queen’) made the final preparation of the manuscript so much easier and more pleasant, for which we are extremely grateful. Needless to say, all mistakes, misjudgements or infelicities of expression remain our own responsibility.
