School-wide Ethics Training
The Access to Justice Program and the Office of Student Affairs are holding a mandatory training for students doing pro bono work through a student service program, ILS, or D10. This training is not intended to interfere with any individualized training these projects provide but to set a common baseline and framework for understanding core ethical issues of confidentiality, conflicts, competence, and unauthorized practice of law. Prof. Aviva Orenstein will conduct the training, mixing lecture and hypotheticals. Students who have attended the training previously need not attend.
The training will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 5, from noon to 1:00 in the moot court room. Students need to RSVP through Symplicity, and the law school will provide lunch for those students who RSVP.
We'll also record the training for students who cannot attend on the 5th but wish to volunteer. These students are required to watch the DVD, which will be available on e-reserve at the library, and then answer hypotheticals about ethics issues typical in pro bono service.
