CIVILITY MATTERS: WHY LAW SCHOOLS MUST TEACH STUDENTS TO DISAGREE WITHOUT BEING DISAGREEABLE
View through CrossRef
As society becomes less civil and less willing to engage in civil discourse, law schools face a heightened need to instill civility as a cornerstone of being a lawyer. The inherently adversarial nature of the legal profession often involves intense conflicts and high-stakes situations. For the system of justice to function, those representing clients must be able to negotiate, debate, and disagree without being disagreeable. Civility fosters a respectful and collaborative atmosphere, enhances the administration of justice, and upholds the integrity of the legal profession. Civility also provides a better culture for lawyer well-being. This Article examines the historical context of civility in the legal profession, its ethical underpinnings, the practical implications of cultivating a civil legal practice, and the importance of addressing professional expectations of civility beginning in law school.
