Professor Kimberly Kirkland to Present at Legal Ethics Conference in Australia

Professor Kimberly Kirkland will present a paper to legal ethicists from around the world at the Third International Legal Ethics Conference in Queensland, Australia, tomorrow, July 16.

Kirkland's paper, "Designed and De Facto Implementation of Ethical Norms in Large Law Firms," ties in with the conference theme, "Integrity in Legal Practice."  During the four-day colloquy, scholars and legal practitioners explore current questions about lawyers' ethical responsibilities, anticipate and discuss aspects of lawyers' ethical responsibilities, and analyze progress of the international legal ethics project.

Kirkland has presented results of her research on legal ethics at three major conferences since May.
