ADVERTISEMENTS

The Conglomerate blog is running a forum, "Minding Our Business," about how changes in the business of law might affect (or should affect) law schools.  There are a lot of interesting views, including from the Adams Drafting Blog.  The discussion focuses mostly on teaching business law and transactional skills, but it is relevant to how we might teach legal ethics as well.  First, should law schools teach more business and transactional skills and, if so, should legal ethics classes assist in that effort?  (For example, this year I focused more on the ethics of representing founders of a business and in how to handle control disputes.)  Second, when we teach legal ethics, should we be incorporating skills training?
