I Do Solemnly Swear Hardback: The Moral Obligations of Legal Officials - Hardcover

'... interesting, readable and richly illustrated ...' Ecclesiastical Law Journal

How should morals change what officials do? The arguments of scholars have been controversial and hard to understand. This book bridges the gap and describes law and morals as working together in a way that isn't really controversial, just hard. It requires officials to work for the common good and in good faith, and to put the people over party, money, and negligence. Real laws require good morals, and this book uses cases from Pontius Pilate to Eliot Sptizer to teach how officials can do it right.
