A major objective of this course is to assist students to bring to bear their own emergent concept of the sort of lawyer they each wish to be on the problems presented. We will examine the ways in which the Model Rules of Professional Conduct channel but do not displace the need for discretion and judgment in situations in which the lawyer faces conflicting obligations.
The course meets in Gittis 214.
Professional Responsibility and Ethics Learning outcomes: Demonstrate an understanding of how the law affects, and is affected by, the individual course topic; Perform legal analysis in the context of the individual course topic; Communicate effectively on the legal and other aspects of the individual course topic; Demonstrate the ability to use other disciplines to analyze legal issues relevant to the individual course topic, including economics, philosophy, and sociology, as appropriate.
