Re: Law School Question

I've gone through the criminal law course offerings, and didn't see a course that seems to specifically address dealing with this sort of thing. Further research seems to indicate that lack of specific training in this area may be a problem with the profession.

The only thing I can figure MIGHT cover this type of thing is L6274: Professional Responsibility, from the Columbia course list.

http://web.law.columbia.edu/courses/sections/18979#.VdXIj3j_XiY

"This course will examine the basic rules that govern the conduct of lawyers with respect to their clients, third parties and the courts, using as a guide case law, ethics opinions, the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct and, in some cases, the New York Rules of Professional Conduct. The emphasis will be on practical, real world application of the rules. Among the topics that will be covered are the formation and termination of the attorney-client relationship, conflicts of interest, client confidentiality, attorney-client privilege, special issues relating to corporate clients, multijurisdictional and unauthorized practice, and legal malpractice and discipline."
