Integrity Competency Milestone

The Milestone for Integrity was previously associated with a learning outcome and was principally developed by a national working group -- a team of faculty and staff from different law schools. These resources were developed by the working group and reviewed by the Holloran Center. A PDF of the Milestone can be found to the right, alongside a bibliography of sources that contains scholarship on Integrity and ideas for classroom implementation.

Integrity Milestone

Law students should demonstrate, through knowledge and actions, professional formation of Integrity for ethical practice in the legal profession. Practicing law with integrity means that a lawyer exhibits honesty, steadfastness, and ethical coherence and acts consistently with integrated personal and professional values even when self-interest is at risk.
