In this assignment, you will reflect on the concept of professional conduct and ethics for lawyers. Or, as the legal profession refers to it, civility. You should consider and reference in your written reflection, the readings and videos assigned for this week.
Consider and respond to the following questions:
What do we mean when we say lawyers should be civil? What regulations, rules, sources can we look to for guidance on what civil behavior is? Be precise in your description offering specific examples of what civility among lawyers might look like in practice and specific references to rules that explain civility.
Are uncivil lawyers more successful? Why or why not.
What impact does incivility have on the legal system? On lawyers individually? On our clients?
Thinking about your own values, skills, strengths, and experiences, how can you respond to incivility when you see it?
Active participation on required discussion boards will: (a) further your understanding of course material, (b) help you develop analytical and communication skills, and (c) engage you in a professional learning community.
