Franklin Pierce Law Center Professor Awarded Fellowship from the National Institute for Teaching Ethics and Professionalism

Mitchell Simon, senior scholar at Franklin Pierce Law Center's Institute for Health, Law and Ethics, was recently awarded a fellowship from the National Institute for Teaching Ethics and Professionalism (NIFTEP). The fellowship provides Simon the opportunity to attend the Institute's annual workshop in Atlanta, GA, which brings together leading academics and practitioners involved in promoting the teaching of ethics and professionalism.

The National Institute for Teaching Ethics and Professionalism (NIFTEP) was established in 2005 as a consortium of five nationally recognized centers on ethics and professionalism. They include:

• The Louis Stein Center for Law and Ethics at Fordham University,
• the Mercer University School of Law Center for Legal Ethics and Professionalism,
• the Nelson Mullins Riley and Scarborough Center on Professionalism at the University of South Carolina,
• the Stanford Center on Ethics and The W. Lee Burge Endowment for Law and Ethics at Georgia State University.
  

NIFTEP is sponsored by the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Professionalism and the Georgia Chief Justice's Commission on Professionalism. Attendance at the workshop is limited to invited fellows.
