      ab: Part of a special issue on teaching legal ethics. The writer discusses how the Northwestern University School of Law created and published a set of materials for teaching the basic law school ethics course principally through the simulation method. He provides a brief summary of the underlying principles of the Northwestern program, describes the classes themselves and the mix of teaching methods employed, and briefly describes the program materials. He states that at Northwestern, it has been found that simulation, supplemented by other methods, is a flexible and powerful way to teach legal ethics. He notes that the university is convinced that this is the most powerful way to teach certain basic aspects of the subject and that this method will sharpen and deepen student understanding of the important issues and increasingly rich literature in legal ethics.
