LAWS 2374 ‑ Advanced Legal Ethics and Professionalism

CREDIT HOURS: 3

Legal ethics is a vibrant and rapidly growing area of legal scholarship. This seminar builds on LAWS 1008 Introduction to Legal Ethics and LAWS 2099 Legal Profession to allow students to immerse themselves in thoughtful exploration of the special topics and current issues that are shaping the practice of law in Nova Scotia, Canada, and around the world. It goes beyond those courses by supporting students who wish to write a major paper on a topic of choice by using doctrinal, historical, comparative, theoretical, or philosophical approaches to the study of legal ethics. This course may be taught by different faculty members from year to year, each of whom brings their own expertise and vision to the course.
