About the Author :
Adam Dodek is a professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa. Among his numerous publications are In Search of the Ethical Lawyer; The Canadian Constitution, Third Edition, named by the Hill Times as one of the top 100 books on Canadian public policy; and Solicitor-Client Privilege, which won the Walter Owen Book Prize. He is a recipient of the Canadian Association of Law Teachers Prize for Academic Excellence, the Mundell Medal for excellence in legal writing, and the Law Society of Ontario's Law Society Medal. He is also a director of the Canadian Association for Legal Ethics and the Canadian Legal Information Institute, and a past governor of the Law Commission of Ontario.

Review :
"[Dodek] offers one of the most illuminating and wide-ranging looks at how large law firms in Canada operate." - Gail J. Cohen (Canadian Bar Association – The National Magazine) "Dodek chronicles the remarkable story of the firm" - Jessica Mach (Canadian Lawyer) "You can read this book several ways, including as governance guide, gossip and tragedy... the lessons... are considered and compelling." - Anne Giardini (The Advocate) "Adam Dodek's recently published book on the history of a prominent Canadian law firm should be required reading for all who enter the profession." - Darryl Singer (Law 360 Canada) "It's a great story. Dodek lavishes time and attention on all the ethical lapses and failures, all the nasty headlines that decorated its fall." - Christopher Moore (Christopher Moore's History News)
