Plenary I
Commemorating CLEPR and the Development of Professional Responsibility Education in the Last Forty Years
Professor Irma Russell is the moderator/commentator for the session. Professor Deborah Rhode will talk both about the development of legal ethics as part of the curriculum since CLEPR and about the use of the pervasive method to teach legal ethics in law school. She will share a problem or some examples that demonstrate how one incorporates ethics by the pervasive method. Professor Rebecca Sandefur will discuss some of the results from the After the JD study that will provide legal educators with insights into variances, based on the types of schools, in graduates' thoughts on how well legal ethics and clinical courses prepared based on types of schools in terms of graduates' thoughts on how well legal ethics and clinical courses prepared them for practice. Her presentation will help us think about how we might improve legal education.
