: Legal Ethics ForumThe Pepper-Luban-Kaufman debate over lawyers and morality
I'm glad to post some classic articles that are hard to find. In preparation for an Inn of Court presentation, I corresponded with Professors Stephen Pepper and David Luban, who kindly granted permission to post their classic dialogue about whether lawyers should be amoral agents for their clients (within the bounds of the rules) or should be moral acitivists under the same standards that apply to all human beings. First is Pepper's The Lawyer's Amoral Ethical Role: Download pepper_article_1.pdf Next is Luban's response, The Lysistratian Prerogative: Download lubanlysistratian_2.pdf (David Luban reminded me that his views have undergone some revisions over the last 21 years, but despite that I am sure you'll enjoy his response to Pepper.) Next is Andrew Kaufman's views on Pepper's piece: Download kaufman_3.pdf Finally we have Pepper's rejoinder: Download pepper_rejoinder_4.pdf
