We will discuss the ethical concerns inherent in the practice of law, as well as duties to clients and consequences for failing to satisfy those duties. We will look at all of this through a lens of the legal profession right now, with discussions of economic pressures, technological advancements, and shifts in public trust brought about by uncertainty in the rule of law.  \nA lawyer’s work largely turns upon relationships; between lawyer and client, but also in connections with other lawyers, professionals, and society in general. This course offers you a chance to reflect on the lawyer you will become as you are building relationships (and building on relationships you started before or during law school) .  \nI consider it to be my professional responsibility to do everything I can to ensure you are ready to face the ethical challenges (and other challenges) you will face as a lawyer. I commit to listening to feedback, tackling hard questions, and offering compassion and grace. I expect the same of everyone I work with professionally, including my students.  \nThis is a residential course, and we will meet during our scheduled class time each week with a few exceptions:  \n􀁸 On occasion, if I am sick or have a family emergency, I may need to teach class virtually  \n􀁸 The day of the MPRE, and the day before Thanksgiving, I will cancel class.  \nDuring our time together (Mondays & Wednesdays, 2:10-3:25PM EST), frequently we will work together on problems, hypos, and simulations. We will also have guest speakers during the latter part of the semester. Be prepared to engage; this will not be a passive class.  \nLearning Objectives:  \nBy the end of this course, students will be able to:  \n􀁸 Understand the framework of professional responsibility, and explain the structure of lawyer regulation in the U.S.  \n􀁸 Identify and resolve ethical dilemmas: apply the ABA Model Rules and relevant comments, evaluate competing duties, and propose reasoned, defensible courses of action  \n􀁸 Develop professional judgment: integrate rules, professionalism principles, and client-centered thinking, to make sound decisions in practice settings  \n􀁸 Prepare for the MPRE and demonstrate readiness for ethical-decision making in everyday lawyering  \n􀁸 Reflect on professional identity: articulate the values, responsibilities, and personal principles that will guide them in developing their identity as a lawyer  \nThe MPRE:  \nSome of you will sit for the MPRE this semester (November administration on 11/12-11/13) . We will dedicate a day in November before the MPRE to review strategies for approaching MPRE questions, practice timing drills, and debrief common mistakes. In addition, short question sets will be available in Canvas each week to build familiarity with question formats and common traps.  \nAssessment:  \nYour grade for the course will be based on a combination of participation, a midterm, and a final exam, with optional quizzes or short reflections.  \n􀁸 Participation (15%): Being prepared for and actively engaging in on-call discussions; thoughtful contribution to small-group acti","cbCaim6mNJZE4eB5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim6mNJZE4eB5","pdf",95863,"English","# Course Overview\n## Learning Objectives\n## The MPRE\n## Assessment\n## Accessibility\n## Semester’s Schedule and Readings","[{\"question\":\"What topics will the course cover in Professional Responsibility?\",\"answer\":\"The course introduces lawyers’ obligations both individually and as members of the legal profession, including ethical concerns in legal practice, duties to clients, and consequences for failing those duties.
