Professionalism Case Studies
A Professionalism Case Study is a description of an actual situation in which a lawyer is faced with a decision involving one or more ethical, professional responsibility or practice management issues. The Law Society of Upper Canada has developed a series of Professionalism Case Studies to be used as a basis for discussions by study groups which have been modified with permission by the Law Society of Saskatchewan for use in Saskatchewan.
