An Ethical View of the Business of Law

Thanks to DePaul Law second-year, Megan Bosau, for pointing me to DePaul's upcoming symposium Lawyers, Law Firms, and the Legal Profession: An Ethical View of the Business of Law, being held on Thursday, May 1, 2008 at the law school in Chicago.  The day-long symposium includes a morning session on the billable hour, following up on Scott Turow's widely-read ABA Journal article. The afternoon sessions address lawyer mobility, and a look at the state of ethics and professionalism. The faculty is equally drawn from private practice and academia, and includes ABA ethics author and commentator, Will Hornsby. Kudos to the DePaul Business & Commercial Law Journal for developing the symposium, and I encourage lawyers and law students alike to attend.
