Teaching legal professionalism: a comparative study of teaching professional values and lessons for legal education.

Whitecross, Richard

Abstract

The Legal Education and Training Review highlighted concerns across all sectors, from academics to practitioners over a lack of understanding of professionalism and ethics. Building on a review of two other professions, medicine and accountancy, this paper suggests an approach to embedding, through formative assessment, an approach to promote the development of the complex nature of being a professional and of professional ethics in practice.
