Ethos (Greek) = character; Mores (Latin) = customs

vs.

Moralitas = manner, character, proper behavior

Professor Gentsch wrote this on the board at the start of his "Ethics, Economics and Law" Seminar during 1L at Harvard Law. What do those terms mean?

Ethics vs. Morality

But aren't they synonymous? Interchangeable? Break down the roots of each word. "Character" is in both. "Customs" and "manner" have similar meanings. But "proper behavior" is where the two diverge. What constitutes "proper behavior?"

Consider these two scenarios:

Alicia defends Judge Cuesta, Cary returns to Lockhart Gardner, and Kalinda tries to convince Agent Delaney to drop her investigation


There's only one episode left of season 3 of The Good Wife. And I object! Clearly, we should leave the lawyering to the अभिनय professionals. The honorable Judge Richard Cuesta (David Paymer) found himself in hot water after being put in the "penalty box." Cuesta had led the prosecution on a murder trail 20 years ago. हाल का DNA testing -- which wasn't available at the time -- proved that...

You’re a young associate at a prestigious law firm. आप got to where आप are today द्वारा acing the LSATS, going to an Ivy League school, and working your नितंब, गधा off. आप didn’t use connections; आप didn’t need to. And now that you’ve got your foot in the door all you’ve got to do is work hard to हटाइए up, right?

Wrong.
The cliché "It’s all about who आप know" is spot on. Sure, आप need to work hard - I adhere to the "first one in, last one out" rule – but social networks are just as या even और crucial. And I’m not just talking फेसबुक and Linked-In. I’m talking...

When “The Good Wife” premièred, on CBS in 2009, it appeared to have a simple premise: it was a meditation on the political wife who stood द्वारा her man. The main character, Alicia Florrick, was clearly inspired द्वारा Silda Spitzer, but she had many sisters in that year’s cruel perp walk of betrayed wives, including Elizabeth Edwards, Elin Nordegren, Jenny Sanford, and Dina Matos McGreevey. (Soon, Anne Sinclair and Maria Shriver joined the parade.) Only the November before, the country had elected a President whose campaign was fuelled—and likely saved—by...

It’s been a disappointing week at work. I was दिया an order with which I deeply disagreed. I performed it, and I stood behind it as my choice, but the whole incident left a कड़वा taste in my mouth and has forced me to reassess people for whom I have, up until now, had great respect.

Jake Arvey, the Chicago Democratic machine boss of the 1950s, had a revealing quote: “There are definitions of politics: the art of compromise, the art of the possible. But to me, politics is the art of putting people under obligation to you.” I get it. Patronage is what makes...

­Ah, the grand jury. A prosecutor’s best friend, especially in Chicago. Because the burden of proof is so low, grand juries overwhelmingly vote to indict, which make the rare cases when a grand jury returns a “no bill” an unusual occurrence. But a vote of no bill can come with its own consequences…

One of the most controversial events in Chicago history, the death of Black तेंदुआ, पैंथर leader फ्रेड Hampton, featured several grand juries, including a federal grand jury investigation.

Early in the morning on December 4, 1969, on the order of State’s Attorney Edward...

Diplomatic immunity is a centuries-old tradition in international law and a critical component of working diplomatic relations today. The guaranteed protection द्वारा a host country from prosecution ensures the safety of representatives and diplomats engaged in difficult work.

On a practical level, however, it can really suck.

While most diplomats understand that they are expected to obey the laws and regulations of their host country, blanket immunity can be used द्वारा bad eggs to cover a wealth of sins. Foreign diplomats residing in the U.S. are believed to...

Now this isn't my feeling, it's hearsay… if आप want to beat a DUI when pulled over while intoxicated, slip the officer a $100 bill along with your license.

Why bring up DUI's and police corruption? The following story is in the Sun-Times, so it's okay to discuss… Jonas Stern, a partner at Stern, Lockhart & Gardner, has been charged with allegedly "Driving Under the Influence." Mr. Stern has a long history of crusading against police brutality, corruption and fighting in the name of constitutional freedoms. Is he being targeted द्वारा the CPD? Today's Tribune has...

Yesterday, I met a woman whose innocent (in my personal opinion, not the opinion of Stern, Lockhart & Gardner) husband is on death row.

Will Gardner, one of the senior partners at SLG, argued an automatic appeal before the Illinois Appellate Court. We lost. Later, that man’s wife came into my office. She had a picture of her husband with their young daughter...“the last time he held his daughter.” It got to me. Reminded me of one of the reasons why I became a lawyer.

When I served a summer internship at the Innocence Project, I worked on the little-known DNA...
