Introduction [to The ethics project in legal education]

Abstract

This is the third and final volume in the series of publications flowing from the Third International Legal Ethics Conference held in Australia in 2008. The organizers of that conference, most of whom are also the editors of this volume, were eager to place special emphasis on the pedagogical dimensions of lawyers' ethics in law school education. Learning and teaching about lawyers' ethical responsibility was therfore a major theme of the conference and attracted a substantial number of papers. Most of the chapters in this volume have grown out of these contributions.
