Civility—or lack thereof—is a hot button issue in the legal profession. Civility is the stuff of professional creeds, firm handbooks, and courtroom procedures. It is a cornerstone of the American Inns of Court and other legal organizations. Some states—Florida, South Carolina, Arizona and Michigan – are mandating civility as a requirement for practicing law in that jurisdiction. Is this going too far? This course encourages you to be part of the ongoing conversation:

• Should civility be mandated?
• How can civility be mandated?
• Doesn't requiring and policing civility interfere with advocacy?
• What are the consequences of policing civility in the legal profession?
