ETHICS CURRICULUM COURSE INFORMATION    (updated 10/24/05)

To meet the ethics requirement for graduation, students must take one course from the ethics curriculum. Students are, however, permitted to take more than one ethics course except that they cannot take more than one that are defined as survey courses (®). Legal Profession, Reel Justice, Legal Ethics Beginning with Film,  Lawyers and Ethics in Film & Law, Litigation Ethics, Practical Ethics for Civil Litigation, and Lawyers & Justice: The Ethics of Public Interest Lawyering are defined as survey courses, giving students a broad overview of ethics issues as they relate to lawyering.
