This panel will
explore the ethical challenges U.S. law schools have faced during the past
decade and will consider the path ahead. Speakers will address various subjects
that may include alternative and accelerated degree programs, for-profit law
schools, accreditation decisions, admissions and scholarship practices,
employment issues, and litigation filed by students and alumni against law
schools. The panel will explore the factors that have influenced ethical and
values-based decision-making, leadership challenges, and how law school
leaders' ethics and values in this area may influence the future of the legal
education and the legal profession.
Papers from this
program will be published in the Journal
of the Professional Lawyer.
