Bridging the Gap: How Introducing Ethical Skills Exercises will Enrich Learning in First-Year Courses

Abstract

Law schools have begun to raise the bar beyond the baseline mandates and aspirational goals of MacCrate and Carnegie, and are looking seriously at how to implement the suggested methods of Best Practices and/or other innovative models.
