Book Synopsis On Being a Christian and a Lawyer by : Thomas L. Shaffer

Download or read book On Being a Christian and a Lawyer written by Thomas L. Shaffer. This book was released on 1981. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A discussion on the tradition of American legal positivism--the theory that ""it is necessary, in working with law, to set morals aside."" Notre Dame law professor Shaffer argues that modern-day attorney-client relationships are characterized either by the ""ethics of role"" (the lawyer does what the client wants, or tells the client what to do) or by the ""ethics of isolation"" (moral statements, but no dialogue). It is a delusion, Shaffer suggests, to pretend that conscience has nothing to do with serving a client or that lawyer and client do not influence each other. In place of ""adversary ethics,"" Shaffer urges the profession to adopt an ""ethics of care"": a professional relation marked by openness in moral dialogue, in which the lawyer's calling becomes a form of ministry. Telling the client, ""it's up to you,"" after a full exchange of views, is not the same as saying ""whatever you want.""For Shaffer, the American legal system's avoidance of moral ""witnessing"" is nurtured by the legal education; the (often unstated) choice is not against morals, but ""against morals as having intellectual importance."" Law-school instruction either flatly avoids moral questions or, by failing to explore students' stated moral positions, suggests that there is no discipline in moral discourse. Law school is where things have to begin changing: there, ""we can still try to tell the truth to one another."" In elaborating his ethical view, Shaffer segues neatly from Barth to Buber to Trollope's Orley Farm to American legal history to the lives of Thomas More and Franz Jagerstatter. This is an unremittingly ""learned"" book--tough sledding for the intellectually unprepared--but intelligent, well-argued, and bound to become controversial among law-and-ethics scholars.

Book Synopsis God Is a Lawyer Too by : Cecilia B. Loving

Download or read book God Is a Lawyer Too written by Cecilia B. Loving. This book was released on 2012-03-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GOD IS A LAWYER TOO: TEN LAWS OF UNLIMITED SUCCESS by Rev. Cecilia B. Loving is a powerful story illustrating how spiritual law can be applied to the work environment or to any aspect of our lives. Even though it takes place in a legal/corporate setting, the principles of success are applicable to any profession, dream or desire. If you are trying to find a job, change your job or leave the workplace to pursue your deeper calling, this book will help you succeed. GOD IS A LAWYER TOO teaches us how to prosper through the power of success -- not merely by financial wealth but by changing our consciousness to understand and utilize the gifts that the universe blesses us with. In GOD IS A LAWYER TOO, Najih Edwards, the main character finds himself in the sweatshop of the Tabernacle, a temp agency, where he -- along with hundreds of other lawyers -- reviews millions of pages of documents. He struggles to leave and reclaim his life as a successful lawyer, which seems like an impossible dream until he meets a partner at a prestigious law firm named Dale. Dale reveals the "Ten Laws of Unlimited Success," but the question is -- who is Dale? Why is he shrouded in mystery? Where did he come from? Does he have the ability to hire Najih at his firm? What is his secret, and how will it impact Najih's fate? If you liked THE GREATEST SALESMAN IN THE WORLD, THE PROPHET, or THE ALCHEMIST, then you will definitely love GOD IS A LAWYER TOO. Patrick A. Bradford, Esq., Secretary of the Board of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. calls this "Yet another literary and liturgical success for Rev. Loving. Her third book, GOD IS A LAWYER TOO, draws on Rev. Loving's 23 years of practice as a corporate litigator and her life-long love of Christ. She is a force of nature - evidencing God's unending grace in these difficult times." Yolanda Webb, Editor-In-Chief, E'LON Couture Magazine says "Cecilia's work gives us the unlimited ability to improve the quality of what we have to offer in this life." Attorney Vaughn Browne says "Cecilia is what every mentee desires in a mentor and thankfully she had the foresight to pen this incredible blueprint to share her uncommon gift with the world for generations to come." Attorney and Life Coach Femi Austin says "GOD IS A LAWYER TOO reminds us of the integrative nature of our existence in which a deeper connection to spirit enhances every aspect of our life, including our careers and relationships."

Book Synopsis Jesus on Trial by : David Limbaugh

Download or read book Jesus on Trial written by David Limbaugh. This book was released on 2014-11-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jesus on Trial, New York Times bestselling author David Limbaugh applies his lifetime of legal experience to a unique new undertaking: making a case for the gospels as hard evidence of the life and work of Jesus Christ. Limbaugh, a practicing attorney and former professor of law, approaches the canonical gospels with the same level of scrutiny he would apply to any legal document and asks all the necessary questions about the story of Jesus told through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. His analysis of the texts becomes profoundly personal as he reflects on his own spiritual and intellectual odyssey from determined skeptic to devout Christian. Ultimately, Limbaugh concludes that the words Christians have treasured for centuries stand up to his exhaustive enquiry—including his examination of historical and religious evidence beyond the gospels—and thereby affirms Christian faith, spirituality, and tradition.
