Truly, consideration of legal ethics and legal duties will be an integral part of everything that you do and say in your workplace and with others. These ethics and duties help define your relationship with your client, your relationship with other lawyers, your relationship with the
Law Society, and your relationship with the public at large.
Using readings, class discussions, group presentations and a take-home exam, we will consider the concepts found in the Rules of Professional Conduct, and in the principles of access to justice, confidentiality, competence, interests, professionalism, and self-regulation.
