Section Co-Sponsors Program on Ethics of Global Practice

The AALS Sections on Comparative Law, Graduate Programs for Foreign Lawyers, International Law and Professional Responsibility co-sponsored a program during the 1997 Annual Meeting on "The Ethical Implications of the Globalization of the Legal Profession: A Challenge to the Teaching of Professional Responsibility and International Business Law."

The program surveyed the responses globally to regulating foreign lawyers, in particular in the European Union, Asia, under NAFTA, in international organization dispute settlement and under the foreign legal consultant approach used in many U.S. jurisdictions. Participants identified the core issues that should be discussed, and indicated the teaching materials and teaching techniques that could be employed. Participants included: Mary C. Daly of Fordham, Robert Lutz of Southwestern, Louis Del Duca of Dickinson, Roger Goebel of Fordham, Carol Needham of St. Louis University, Laurel Terry of Dickinson, and Peter Ehrenhaft of the Washington, D.C., law firm of Ablondi, Foster, Sobin & Davidow.
