Professionalism Ideals for Attorneys

This course discusses the principles of professionalism and gives an overarching definition and a thorough evaluation of its core elements. Being a "good" attorney is not merely a mastery of the raw skill sets and knowledge of the law and its unique elements. Without a strong grasp and adherence to Professionalism, a conceptually "good" attorney, who has a strong mastery of the law and its proceedings, can nevertheless harm their client, their firm, themselves, and even the legal system as a whole. This course aims to provide attorneys with a deep understanding of professionalism and the challenges and conflicting circumstances that may arise in opposition to it. 

Learning Objectives:

• Acquiring an Understanding of Professionalism
• Analyzing the Key Components of Professionalism and their Application
• Discussing the Pressing Challenges to Professionalism and its Enforcement
• Connecting Professionalism and a Lawyer’s Sense of Fulfillment
