Abstract

This article revisits the idea of 'pervasive ethics' and proposes a model that makes it possible to provide law students with legal ethics learning opportunities throughout the law school curriculum. The key to the proposal is an underlying commitment to co-ordinated 'whole-of-curriculum' design in law school teaching in the interests of maximising law students' learning. The article also suggests how curriculum-wide ethics learning objectives might be formulated, the idea of an 'ethics learning activity' and possible criteria for assessment in this important area.
