Thus began a career in royal service that brought Quin to London, where he continued to produce occasional verse in praise of his patrons and fellow writers, as well as biographical texts on the soldier Bernard Stuart (d. 1508) and King Henri IV and a neo-Stoic handbook. Quin was one of the earliest Irish writers to leave a substantial body of creative work in modern English (in addition to his texts in Latin, French, and Italian) and part of his reward for this included land and privileges in his native country. He can also be claimed for Scottish and English literature, since his work illuminates the life of the Stuart courts, as well as the literary fashions of his time. This is the first edition of Quin's work, and it includes a biographical introduction, as well as translations of his non-English texts.

During recent legislative debate over a professional reform bill, Alan Shatter - then the Minister of Justice in Ireland - publicly called this study, in its earlier form as a PhD dissertation, marvellous and stated that it should be compulsory reading for us all. He noted that the thesis sets out the history of the legal profession and how it evolved. It evolved continually until approximately 1870 and then went into paralysis and nothing has changed since. ... It is extraordinarily curious that people think the world stopped in 1870. Professor Laurent Pech, formerly of the School of Law at NUI Galway and now Head of the Law Department at Middlesex University London, has stated that this study makes a decisive contribution to the on-going scholarly and policy debates on this issue, by evaluating the present regulatory framework and offering a number of suggestions to improve it in a context of increasing transnationalisation of the market for legal services. He added that Hosier's innovative approach to the problem of lawyers' misconduct is, in particular, worth noting. This aspect of her work has the potential to help alleviate a problem which has been extremely costly for both the legal profession and wider society alike. Her doctoral research also provides a valuable insight into the impact of the Troika upon the regulation of the legal profession in so-called 'bailed-out countries.' Professor Pech concluded that the author should be congratulated for having made an exceptional contribution to the current debate on the regulation of the legal profession both nationally and internationally. I have no doubt that her original and thought-provoking work will be useful to policy-makers and scholars alike. This book features Professor John Flood's new, substantive introduction, explaining the worldwide implications of professional reform efforts, the financial crisis that precipitated them, and the relation to regulation of the legal profession in other countries. It also includes the author's notable examination of the effect of the Troika's bailout conditions on law reform possibilities in Ireland. This part of the book was presented in the US at the 2013 annual conference of the Law and Society Association. Finally, the book adds a section on 2014 developments in reform efforts in Ireland. A powerful new addition to the Dissertation Series from Quid Pro Books.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51077637406993,"sku":"NIN9781610272575","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53408069386513,"sku":"GOR014910168","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1610272579.jpg?v=1750960142"},{"product_id":"what-do-lawyers-do-book-john-flood-9781610272100","title":"What Do Lawyers Do?","description":"\u003cp\u003eA legal scholar and sociologist, John Flood spent years observing a large law firm from the inside--much like an embedded journalist, but with the perspective of a researcher on the theory and practice of legal organizations. What he found and analyzed resulted in a study that has been cited by many scholars over the years as \u003cb\u003ethe ultimate account of the inner workings of a corporate law firm\u003c\/b\u003e, including its relations with clients, employees, and the broader profession. Further, using four detailed case studies, he showed how the construction of legal information and problems depended heavily on the role and specialization of the lawyer and the power of the client. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow in its Second Edition, with updated references and account of the \u003cb\u003eradical shifts in legal practice over the past few years\u003c\/b\u003e in the U.S. and U.K., Flood's pathbreaking book continues to be a fascinating resource for scholars of the legal profession, as well as interested readers who want to see exposed the inner sanctum of private, big-money law practice. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe new edition also adds a new, reflective introduction by Lynn Mather, the SUNY Distinguished Service Professor at the University at Buffalo. She writes that, compared to litigators, prosecutors, and public interest attorneys, far less is known about exactly what business lawyers do. However, Flood's \u003cb\u003ebrilliant ethnography of a corporate law firm \u003c\/b\u003ehelps to fill this gap, providing an in-depth analysis of corporate lawyers at work and addressing significant issues of professional work. Originally done in the late 1980s, this classic study has now been updated and still stands as a singular contribution to the field for its insights into the work of corporate lawyers. ... The themes it raises--differences between office lawyers and litigators, ethical decision making in the context of legal work, change in corporate practice in relation to the economy and professional regulation, and the role of law in what lawyers do--remain crucial for understanding the role of lawyers in society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA classic resource from \u003cb\u003eQuid Pro Books\u003c\/b\u003e is now readily available worldwide, in print and ebook formats, for scholars, researchers, lawyers, and other interested readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51191280009489,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51191281615121,"sku":"NIN9781610272100","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52425598042385,"sku":"NLS9781610272100","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1610272102.jpg?v=1751310137"},{"product_id":"representations-of-eve-in-antiquity-and-the-english-middle-ages-book-john-flood-9780367864804","title":"Representations of Eve in Antiquity and the English Middle Ages","description":"As the first woman, Eve was the pattern for all her daughters.
