Read the article Jjudges On Wrong Side Of The Law by the Associated Press. You can also access this link through the course Links tool.

Although the article focuses on white-collar crime, it raises important questions about ethical behavior among judges, who are expected to remain impartial, and legislators, who should create laws that benefit the public rather than special interests.

Discussion Questions:

• How can we work to improve ethics within the judicial and legislative systems?
• What strategies could make these systems as free from corruption as possible?
• How does public trust influence the effectiveness and legitimacy of the judiciary and legislature?

Please Note: Most judges and legislators, like most police officers, are honest and dedicated. This discussion is not an indictment of the system, but rather an opportunity to share ideas on how we can make it stronger and more ethical.
