Article by Judy Perry Martinez
As the profession becomes more diverse, so do views of what constitutes a professional. Are codes of professionalism, which for the most part were written before the significant influx of women and minorities into the profession, reflective of the values of the third of the profession now comprised of these diverse members? This Article presents an overview of the many changes in the profession over the last decade and a perspective on how and why those changes may call for another look at the codes of professionalism that are now in place.
