Introduction

Most other law school courses are designed to improve your ability to assist your clients in

achieving their goals by articulating their interests, asserting their rights, and defending

their positions. Only in this course are you provided with the tools to recognize your own

obligations and professional responsibilities, the limitations on your own conduct, and your

rights as a lawyer, an officer of the legal system, and a citizen. Our experience indicates that

many legally educated professionals (practicing lawyers and academics) are less than fully

aware of some of the most crucial concepts covered in this course. Our purpose is to ensure

that this will not be the case for you.
