Nowhere in teaching is this quote truer than in the area in which ethics and Elder Law intersect. Teaching professional responsibility generally is not an easy task, but when it is combined with the sometimes-complicated issues in Elder Law, it poses obstacles, challenges, and great rewards. Many times the best way for practitioners to solve the ethical dilemmas they face is to know the right questions to ask. Teaching students that the applicable Model Rules of Professional Conduct (Model Rules) many times may not answer all of the questions they will have as practitioners leaves them, at times, unsettled and unappreciative. The most important goal in teaching professional responsibility is to help the students understand that the Model Rules are in many cases the baseline, and the students will have to exercise discretion to decide difficult questions.
