TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the discretionary component of prosecutorial practice and ethics, and argue that prosecutorial discretion requires public moral judgment, a judgment rooted in prosecutorial experience and experience.

TL;DR: The authors defend John Rawls' political liberalism against charges that it is too secular and not sufficiently inclusive of religious opinions and commitments, and note the similarities between Rawls's and Murray's attempts to resolve the problem of pluralism.

TL;DR: In the Roman Catholic community, this same cycle of interaction between political events and theological reflection has caused renewed debate about the nature of Catholic political activity as discussed by the authors, and one particular source of contention in recent years has been the question of whether or not clergy and members of religious congregations should hold political office.

TL;DR: The authors examines the traditional question about role morality and the legal profession, namely whether lawyers can be moral and argues against a separate morality for lawyers, concluding that religious ethics is as valuable as philosophy and sociology in reminding the profession that a separate moral code for lawyers is dangerous.
