"This book is intended to educate and assist government employees, particularly lawyers (and those private persons who face government ethics issues such as lobbyists, journalists, good government groups, and vendors), who may encounter some of the many ethical issues that tend to arise in public sector work. While the book cannot address every possible ethical quandary, and in many cases will not address the laws of every jurisdiction, we hope to provide a meaningful overview of frequently recurring ethics issues, and to give practical guidance and insights to help readers determine their most ethical course of conduct"--
