It has been several days since the last update, and a new year in law school begins.
For starters, my earlier postings on Law & Christianity should give a good refresher for this series: my goal is to determine how Christian ethics can be implemented into the legal practice. Of course, ethics is a broad term: it encompasses the range of morality types. My hypothesis is that while a number of ethics systems will serve the public good, the Christian set is one of the best.
Of course, this blanket statement will bring the ilk of many who might believe that Christian ethics are too strong and divisive for society. Yet my goal will be to provide some weekly updates on how professional responsibility is taught, and then apply some basic Christian principles to compare.
My guess is many will match up, though the stringent level of the match may vary.
As an aside, this series would function much better as a stepping-off point for discussion--to this extent, I humbly request all viewers (or readers, as it were) to offer their thoughts on my analysis, or provide commentary regardless of your theological knowledge or basis. I think we could get an interesting dialogue if people across the faith board weigh in.
