The National Institute for Teaching Ethics and Professionalism was established in 2005 as a consortium of the following five nationally-recognized centers on ethics and professionalism:

• The Louis Stein Center for Law & Ethics at Fordham University
• The Mercer University School of Law Center for Legal Ethics and Professionalism
• The Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough Center on Professionalism at the University of South Carolina
• The Stanford Center on Ethics
• The W. Lee Burge Endowment for Law & Ethics at Georgia State University

Since that time, the Holloran Center for Ethical Leadership in the Professions at the University of St. Thomas School of Law and the Center on the Global Legal Profession at the Maurer School of Law at Indiana University-Bloomington have joined the NIFTEP consortium. 

NIFTEP conducts bi-annual workshops that bring together leading academics and practitioners involved in teaching legal ethics and promoting professionalism.  

Other NIFTEP projects include the International Forum on Teaching Legal Ethics and Professionalism, a user-driven online community and resource library for ethics teachers, scholars, and practitioners worldwide.
