* © Steven J. Johansen 2010. Professor of Law and Director of Legal Writing, Lewis and Clark Law School. This essay was supported by a summer research grant from Lewis and Clark Law School. I wish to thank: Professor Ruth Anne Robbins for her inspiration, insight, and insistence that I complete this essay; Professor Ken Chestek for our many conversations about the interplay between ethics and story; my colleagues on the Lewis and Clark faculty for their helpful comments on an earlier version of the essay; my research assistant, Bridget Donegan, for her thoroughness and tolerance as we worked through the early stages of our work; and, as always, to Lenore Honey Johansen for her bemused patience.
