Most law textbooks are fixated on how the law is understood via appellate decisions by the judiciary. This textbook journeys outside the courtroom and details how government regulatory agencies shape the law and how regulatory decisions can impact the public interest.

It discusses in detail the ethical standards that apply by statutory or constitutional provision.
