Abstract This article discusses the premise of ethics in legal ethics, considering what is interesting and important in morals, ethics as aiming at resolution and, communal ethics. The use of student writing as a device in ethics education is explored. Clinical legal ethics as a way in which students can deal with ethics in the community is discussed in the context of the work of the author in an American law school.
AbstractList [Extract] Teaching professional responsibility is difficult. It is the only nationally required subject for all US law students, but there is no mandate as to its format, duration, or teaching methodology. Most institutions offer a survey course that is elected by large numbers of students. Many, if not most instructors in such courses, aided or guided by the growing wealth of commercially-published course texts, approach the course as encompassing: (i) a large dose of teaching the “law of lawyering” (ie a combination of the legal profession’s rules for regulating the conduct of its members, the burgeoning body of decisional law reflecting both traditional6 and emerging ways in which courts are asked to rule on the subject of lawyers’ conduct, together with other statutory, regulatory law on the subject); (ii) certain instruction about the adversary system and the structure, history, composition, and service delivery systems of the legal profession;8 and (iii) some discussion of dominant professional norms and their relationship to students’ personal values.
This article discusses the premise of ethics in legal ethics, considering what is interesting and important in morals, ethics as aiming at resolution and, communal ethics. The use of student writing as a device in ethics education is explored. Clinical legal ethics as a way in which students can deal with ethics in the community is discussed in the context of the work of the author in an American law school.
