Given the current state of military conflicts as well as recent past we will triage two cases through the lens of The Just War Theory.

To aid in the effort we are using the book “Just and Unjust Wars” by Michael Walzer, recommended by faculty of the West Point Military Academy.

To supplement this book we refer you to a You Tube video by Dr. Richard Feist at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir8LThr58W

Topic: The Ethics of the Supreme Court

  • University of South Carolina Beaufort - Hilton Head Island Campus (map)

In response to considerable criticism, the Supreme Court has produced a “Code of Conduct” (download PDF).

Dr. Gordon Haist will open the session reviewing the issue and context for discussing our question:

Should the Supreme Court have a code of ethics that holds its justices accountable?

Gordon and Paul Weismantel will then present short Pro and Con Arguments and open the floor to our discussion.
