LAW 2897 - Lawyers’ Ethics The rules of law governing lawyers’ professional conduct are studied through the ethics codes, lectures, text, cases, problems and class discussion. Principal attention is given to whether lawyers should subordinate their own moral judgment to that of their clients, the lawyer’s role in an adversary system, zealous representation, lawyer-client confidentiality, conflicts of interest, prosecutors’ ethics and solicitation of clients.
