Areas of coverage will be less on ethical rules and more on the profession as a whole; specific practice areas within the profession and their unique ethical and professionalism challenges; the role of lawyers in society; the difference between moral values, ethics and professionalism; and the ?state of the profession? in contemporary society. Students wishing to satisfy their senior writing requirement through this seminar can write a paper on an approved topic related to ethics and professionalism.
