Tho...Hope Maureen Dowd returns from vacation soon! <BR/><BR/>Those of us who have been to law school and not to seminary are equally familiar that one person's notion of justice is another's persecution! <BR/><BR/>Studying religious precepts is no different than studying legal concepts. Fish's editorial reveals more about his personal religious beliefs than it does his education qualifications! <BR/><BR/>One of my "strictist socratic" law school professors was a former Jesuit monk. Oddly he didn't teach abstract concepts of justice, he taught corporate law and securities regulation! As we were entering the Gordon Gecko (Wall Street) era of the mid 80s, he moulded students to work for Wall Street lawfirms that would handle one corporate takeover after another. But he could still relate the concept of fiduciary duty and other shareholder principles to larger concepts of Biblical and secular justice when appropriate. It was the same with the contracts professor--he freely quoted Faulkner and the Bible.ProgressiveChurchladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04329210342070396638noreply@blogger.com
