It centers on the American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct, supplemented by relevant statutory, common law, and professional norms. Students will explore how lawyers navigate ethical dilemmas in practice and how these issues relate to broader questions of professional identity, client service, cultural competence, and the public good.  \nAlthough grounded in the Model Rules, this is not a prep course for the MPRE. Instead, students will engage in discussion-based analysis of real-world problems and legal ethics jurisprudence to build skills in ethical reasoning, client awareness, and professional collaboration.  \nCourse Goals  \nBy the end of this course, students will:  \n1. Enhance ethical sensitivity – Develop the ability to recognize ethical issues and dilemmas that may arise in legal practice.  \n2. Strengthen ethical problem-solving – Learn to apply legal, strategic, and moral reasoning to resolve ethical issues.  \n3. Cultivate professional collaboration – Build teamwork, communication, and reflective listening skills in group settings.  \n4. Develop sound professional instincts – Clarify and deepen one's own professional conscience and ethical identity as a lawyer.  \nCourse Learning Outcomes  \nBy the end of the course, students will understand the core rules and doctrines governing the legal profession, including the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, malpractice liability, and regulatory frameworks. They will be able to apply these rules to real-world scenarios, using both doctrinal knowledge and policy analysis to resolve ethical dilemmas. Students will strengthen their skills in legal research, oral and written communication, and group collaboration while developing the judgment necessary to advise clients, manage professional risks, and navigate competing responsibilities to clients, courts, and society.  \nThrough class discussions and group work, students will enhance their sensitivity to ethical issues and learn to evaluate them in light of legal, strategic, and moral considerations. They will also reflect on their own emerging professional identities, with attention to cultural competence, client-centered advocacy, and the lawyer’s broader role in promoting justice and integrity within the legal system.  \nRequired Textbooks/Course Materials  \nLisa G. Lerman, Philip G. Schrag & Robert Rubinson, Ethical Problems in the Practice of Law (6th ed., 2023) (hereinafter “Lerman”) (ISBN: 978-1-5438-4621-8) .  \nAmerican Bar Association Model Rules of Professional Conduct (“Model Rules”) .  \nYou must be able to easily access the Model Rules (including the comments that accompany each rule). You may want to purchase it from the ABA or another retailer. I recommend you have a hard copy of the Rules because it is easier to refer to them in class. However, you may use the online version of the Model Rules, available on the ABA website.  \nAssessment and Grading  \n● Class Participation and Group Collaboration – 15%  \n● Midterm Exam (Conflicts)– 25%  \n● Final Exam (Cumulative, including problem-based scenarios)– 60%  \nSchedule  \nAugust 11 – Monday – Introduction to the Course; The Legal Profession: Bar Admission Readings: Lerman, pages xxxi-xxxv; 1–35  \nRules and Comments: Preamble and Scope; 8.1.  \nProblem: Problem 1-1: Adderall  \nAugust 14 – Thursday – The Legal Profession (continued)  \nReadings: Lerman, pages 35–61  \nIllinois State Bar Association Proposal 22-06 (on Blackboard)  \nProblem: Problem 1-2: The Doctored Resume  \nAugust 18 – Monday – Regulation, Discipline,","cbCaio7VNNUieeyV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio7VNNUieeyV","pdf",328770,"English","# About the Course\n## Course Description\n## Course Goals\n## Course Learning Outcomes\n## Required Textbooks/Course Materials\n## Assessment and Grading\n# Schedule\n## August 11 – Introduction\n## August 14 – Legal Profession (continued)\n## August 18 – Regulation, Discipline, and Liability\n## August 21 – Reporting Misconduct; Lawyer Liability\n## August 25 – Lawyer-Client Relationship; Duties to Clients\n## August 28 – Duties (continued); Terminating Relationship\n## September 1 – No class (Labor Day)\n## September 4 – Confidentiality and Exceptions\n## September 8 – Exceptions to Confidentiality\n## September 11 – Exceptions (continued)\n## September 15 – Attorney-Client Privilege and Work Product","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of the Professional Responsibility course?\",\"answer\":\"The course introduces the ethical responsibilities and professional duties of lawyers in the U.S. legal system, centering on the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct and related legal norms.\"},{\"question\":\"How are students expected to learn ethical issues?\",\"answer\":\"Students engage in discussion-based analysis of real-world problems and legal ethics jurisprudence to build ethical reasoning, client awareness, and professional collaboration.\"},{\"question\":\"How is student performance graded?\",\"answer\":\"Grading includes class participation and group collaboration (15%), a midterm exam on conflicts (25%), and a final exam cumulative with problem-based scenarios (60%).\"}]","SYLLABUS - PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY - Fall 2025 - Both Sections - Moya | PDF",1790341974,18]
