ABSTRACT
Courses on legal ethics and professional responsibility are notoriously difficult to teach,1 and there remains a need to explore ways in which teaching can be enhanced. In this chapter I suggest a learning tool that I hope will prompt students to reflect on and critique the role of lawyers and the regulatory environment in which they practise. I suggest law lecturers use a resource that students respect and with which they are already familiar, but that is sometimes maligned in the legal ethics literature – the published law report. However, rather than advocate for a return to a doctrinal reading of the case as occurs in most other law subjects, I suggest that teachers encourage students to read the report through a legal ethics lens.
