      ab: The writers discuss noncompetition agreements in relation to the counseling profession. They consider the position of the American Counseling Association (ACA) on noncompetition agreements between employers and employees in the context of case law from other service professions. They argue that ACA members are not informed and that the ACA Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice does not adequately address the ethical and legal issues involved in noncompetition agreements. Arguing that noncompetition agreements pose an unrecognized reality for counselors in private practice, the writers suggest that the ACA Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice should be clarified or amended to address noncompetition agreements, the ACA should inform employers of its position on such agreements, and counselor preparation programs should incorporate direct clinical and didactic instruction about noncompetition agreements, contract law, and private practice.
