Please join us for an inquisitive and timely discussion that compares and contrasts the meanings of “legal” and “ethical”.  Professor Paul Fiorelli’s presentation delves into:

1. What is the "value" of "values" - Why do we care about ethics?
2. The Parable of the Sadhu – a discussion about legal v. ethical duties
3. Name That Scandal/Name That Scoundrel – an overview of ethical lapses over the recent past
