LAW-5300 PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBIL
This course is designed to acquaint you with the standards for lawyer conduct and liability. The class will focus on the obligations of a lawyer -both as an individual and as a member of the legal profession. Although these obligations are defined in ethical rules and other codes of conduct, the rules serve as a floor for professional conduct. A lawyer's work largely turns upon relationships. As such professional responsibility reflects how the lawyer's conduct affects others -such as clients, colleagues, the courts, and society. Being a professional lawyer is not only following rules, it is building a reputation that reflects positively on you and the legal profession.
