On Teaching Morality to Law Students.
Modjeska, Lee
Journal of Legal Education, v41 n1 p71-73 Mar 1991
Within the limits of law and process, the lawyer's concern must be the client's cause, not his own agenda. Effective legal representation requires objectivity. The lawyer's role is to counsel legality, not morality, and the law school's responsibility is to teach law, not moral obligation. (MSE)
