Abstract
This article was part of a symposium organized by Roger Cramton in The Journal of Legal Education. Most ethical issues addressed by the Model Rules of Professional Responsibility arise during litigation. This article suggests that many opportunities to discuss ethical issues arise in the Contracts class; most of these involve planning, negotiating and drafting rather than litigation. Specific examples are provided, with references to case citations and to the Model Rules.
