The recent Carnegie Report on educating lawyers speaks to the need of law schools to integrate ethics into the doctrinal study of law. That report is a vindication of Cooley Law School's program. The law school has demonstrated in a variety of ways that it is educating and supporting its students in a professional ethic. It encourages them less toward self-realization (too often a narcissistic and phantom pursuit), and more toward community service and a healthy self-examination that will uphold the highest standards of honesty, integrity and decency. Judges, bar leaders who shape the legal profession, lawyers, legal academics, law students and those who are thinking of attending law school would be well-served by reading this volume.
