If there were lawyers who stood up and said, "That is not the ethical thing to do," then we might have avoided Abu Ghraib or some of the corporate scandals. Those kinds of ethical lawyers can only get their training in one place. That's at the beginning, in the law schools.

"The thing I find—and I believe I have this in common with everyone else teaching these subjects—is that students are characteristically relativist about ethics. They see ethics as being a matter of opinion rather than as a subject that can be taught."

"When I teach ethics, we look at the arguments in favor of relativism—I think
it's important for students to do that. But I would find it difficult to teach a
whole semester based on the idea that it's impossible to say what is right and
what is wrong. It rather defeats the purpose!"
