Ethical Mistakes: A Learning Resource in Law School?


If a mistake could walk into a room, most people would not touch it with a ten foot pole. However, a few who know how would embrace the manifestation.
Learning from mistakes is a skill, not just a choice. All schools, including law school. should consider how to cultivate this skill in their students. Rather than simply show students what behavior is wrong and right, educators should use additional means to help students learn to navigate moral waters, so that these students, when they graduate, can avoid pitfalls as well as recite them for exams.
