The University of North Carolina Intergenerational Legal Ethics Project: expanding the contexts for teaching professional ethics and values.

Teaching legal ethics is most effective when professional ethics are linked with issues of individual and societal morality. This can be done by encouraging students to see lawyers as people in their communities in addition to being professionals. The University of North Carolina Law School Intergenerational Legal Ethics Project tries to get lawyers to see themselves this way, to connect their intellectual faculties and their feelings. The project is described in some detail.
