As business law professors, we are always teaching leadership and professional responsibility (even if only interstitially), whether we are teaching in experiential, doctrinal, or other settings. Accordingly, an upcoming program hosted by the Section on Leadership of the Association of American Law Schools (which I chair this year) may be of interest. The program, a webinar aptly titled Leadership Development and Professional Responsibility, is next Tuesday, November 18, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm ET/12:00 pm – 1:00 pm CT/11:00 am – 12:00 pm MT/10:00 am – 11:00 pm PT. Here is the synopsis.

How can law schools cultivate ethical judgment and the capacity for principled leadership among students? How might the Professional Responsibility course provide avenues for exploring broader questions related to lawyer leadership? This AALS webinar explores the relationship between professional responsibility, legal ethics, and leadership formation in legal education and examines how law schools can prepare graduates not only to practice law competently, but to lead with integrity and purpose.

I hope you can join us for this program. Registration is available here.
