Abstract
LEGAL ETHICS FOR THE REAL WORLD: A MODEL FOR ENGAGING FIRST YEAR LAW STUDENTS
Suzette Barnaby
Although courses in legal ethics are now part of the main stream curriculum in the majority of undergraduate law programs, a perceived lack of ethical orientation among legal practitioners, has led to calls for an even greater emphasis upon ethical education.

In addition, it describes a model for incorporating this approach to legal ethics into the first year curriculum using an online teaching site.
