A nurturer providing special educational services. All teachers fall into the category of ethical templates. They can set the either high or low standards. The author uses the argument of the law professor. The way in which the law school teachers speak and behave suggests something about the way in which law school professors should act.
All teachers are ethical templates but only few are symbols of special achievement.
The definition, by Judith Thomson and George Sher, philosophers, that role models are individuals who inspire others to believe that they are capable of high accomplishment, is often employed. An important requirement of this definition is recognizability. It means that the students should in some way identify with the role model. The nurturers are those who take an active role in mentoring, tutoring, counseling, and special cultural and scholarly events. Being a minority group member is neither necessary or sufficient for being a role model to minority students.
