Why did you consider the hypothetical problem you selected as MOST EFFECTIVE to be the most effective problem for teaching professionalism?

  • Answered: 15
  • Skipped: 0
The group really seemed to appreciate the nuance in it, how there were several different perspectives because of the number of people involved and their role.
8/24/2022 03:14 PM
Most discussion. No rules to rely upon. Makes them think outside of their experiences. They know they have a duty to the possible victim. Not all think about a duty to the person who made the comment.
8/19/2022 04:34 PM
Robust discussion
8/19/2022 12:31 PM
Provides an opportunity to talk about the different duties owed to different people in a realistic setting. Fosters a lot of discussion amongst the students.
8/19/2022 12:19 PM
The question contained three layers involving (1) ethics, (2) professionalism, and (3) technology and innovation. In turn, it allowed the us to discuss different consequences of unfair advantage (i.e. hypothetical #1) through the capacities of several different parties to the hypothetical (i.e., Miranda, section A students, and section B students). Because of this, a more comprehensive discussion was possible. Lastly, the hypothetical also allowed for students to think about technological competence and confidentiality on certain platforms (i.e., groupme, listserv, etc.).

The plagiarism one is too simple. the text was verbatim plagiarized. This is an important topic but needs to be developed a little more to make it harder to decide if the student improperly copied another's work.
8/24/2022 03:14 PM
Because there are hard and fast rules to guide them. Professionalism is what we should do but they rely on the rules telling them what they must do.
8/19/2022 04:34 PM
Too obvious; Little helpful discussion followed
8/19/2022 12:31 PM
The answers here are generally pretty clear, and talking about drugs leads to a lot of tangential comments.
8/19/2022 12:19 PM
The professional and legal consequences of adderall use seemed to be clear to the students.
8/19/2022 03:32 AM
I don't think the social media hypo dealt with college cheating, but in any event there was not much interaction on that one.

How could the professionalism orientation be improved?

  • Answered: 13

The hypotheticals largely focused on law school issues, I would like to see another hypothetical related to practicing law. Also, another 15 minutes in the group breakout sessions would help ensure discussions are not rushed.
8/24/2022 03:14 PM
I think they should have at least one hypo that gives that shows them what professionalism challenges attorneys face. They are going to school to be attorneys. They should see that. The current hypos certainly prepare them to act as professionals as students. I do not think they current hypos prepare them to act as professionals when they become attorneys.
8/19/2022 04:34 PM
I’d rethink using hypo 6
8/19/2022 12:31 PM
Other than more time with the students, I can't think of anything. It's a great program.
8/19/2022 12:19 PM
Hosting a zoom training session for volunteers prior to the orientation or laying out suggested time limits for each hypothetical to help the group leaders get through all of the hypotheticals.

This was a great experience and I hope to do it again next year. It might also be useful for 3L's to get their own program in spring semester before graduation to start thinking about issues that will be coming their way once they start practicing law.
8/24/2022 03:14 PM
More time for the breakout sessions to discuss hypotheticals, 10 minutes is not enough for everyone to weigh in on every hypothetical. This year, we got a core group who really wanted to talk about every hypo and a larger group who were content to keep quiet. I think there are useful to also give the students a little taste of what their actual classes will be like.
