Another Good Article...Thank You. I think sometimes people just don't think. Some not instilled with ethical. Thanks for the reminder

WA does much to teach us ethics. I like your definition and adopted something close to it long before I went to law school. It didn't work for me in law school where we were required to take a course in ethics. We had to learn the "rules of ethics" so that we could repeat them at the beginning of each class like a catechism. But when I took the final exam, I nearly failed because I was too ethical in my answers. The professor said that the exam was to see what you would do to skirt by as being ethical without outright breaking the rules; that's all you had to do and I had followed my conscience which I found is much more strict than the rules for lawyers.
