Years ago, I studied legal ethics in #law school, a required course. This particular course was taught like a typical law school course: read the cases, read the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, apply the rules to the fact patterns, etc.

Long before that, in electrical #engineering undergrad, I was encouraged by one of my professors to take an introductory course in #philosophy. I did. I loved it. So, I took another philosophy course on #ethics. Both courses were taught by philosophers in the tradition of the field.

It turned out that the lowly undergrad ethics course was far more insightful about the ethical issues that pervade humanity than the highbrow legal ethics course ever was.
