I.          INTRODUCTION

            Thanks to ubiquitous state CLE requirements, meetings of the ABA Forum on the Construction Industry regularly feature a segment on ethical issues confronted by construction lawyers.  Many of the resulting papers have resurfaced as articles in the Construction Lawyer, so there is a wealth of excellent material available analyzing the ethical issues that arise at various points in the domestic practice of most construction lawyers.
