handle is hein.journals/usthomlj10 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD EMPIRICAL PROFESSIONAL ETHICS: ETHICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE LEARNING AND PRACTICE OF LAW NEIL HAMILTON The mission of the Holloran Center for Ethical Leadership in the Pro- fessions is research on the holistic formation of both students and practicing professionals into ethical leadership in their communities. A necessary foundation for ethical leadership in a peer-review profession like law is each student's and each practicing professional's moral core into which the professional has internalized the ideals and core principles of the profes- sion. On September 22, 2012, the University of St. Thomas Law Journal and the Holloran Center hosted a symposium, with the eight papers pub- lished here, to analyze what we know empirically about ethical develop- ment in the learning and practice of law. The Holloran Center appreciates both the contributions of the authors to this symposium and the funding support of the Medtronic Foundation for the conference. We also are grateful for the tireless efforts of the law jour- nal editors for their work on the symposium. The contribution of the papers in this symposium is best understood in the context of the education assessment framework already adopted by ac- crediting authorities for graduate education in the health professions and undergraduate education.' The ABA's late-stage drafts to change the ac- creditation standards for law schools also adopt this same framework.2 This education assessment framework asks legal educators to: 1. identify student educational needs; 2. articulate student learning outcomes (educational objectives) that respond to student educational needs; 3. plan and implement an educational program and curriculum that help students achieve the learning outcomes; 1.
