LAW 611A - Readings in Ethics

Institution:

Duke University

Subject:

Law

Description:

This discussion course centers around readings that, implicitly or explicitly, draw connections between the practice of law, the experience of being a lawyer, the substance of the law, and ethics (including not only professional responsibility but issues of moral commitment and action more generally). Each section of the course is expected to have a different specific focus, and different readings, but will center on the general topics of professionalism and ethics. This is a year-long course. The students can satisfy the Law school's two- credit ethics requirement by taking this course and the one-credit course titled "Ethics and the Rules of Professional Conduct." The courses need not be taken concurrently. Instructor: Law Faculty
