Ethics

Hosted by the Baldy Center for Law & Social Policy in Buffalo NY, and co-sponsored by the University of Connecticut, this one-day conference will address the following: How do lawyers resolve ethical problems in the everyday context of law practice? What issues commonly emerge in different practice specialties and what are the norms and rules for resolving them? This is the first conference that focuses on the empirical research on lawyers? work and their actual decision making in a wide variety of practice contexts. Participants will examine the work of lawyers in a number of practice areas, identifying one or more ethical issues that arise in the practice area. Scholars will present their research, embedding lawyers? decision making in both the professional world of ethical codes and the social and economic setting of the workplace.
