PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY: THE LAW FIRM

This course explores relationships between professional and personal lives in varied law-practice organizations - private firms; solo practice; in-house counsel; government, university, non-profits; criminal prosecution and defense; and legal services. Topics include ethics, professionalism, family-practice balance, and economics of practice. Examining practice types as social and economic entities that influence and are influenced by the lives of those who work there, we'll include perspectives of lawyers and social scientists who have studied these issues.
