I'm just wondering where the line is between legal and ethical topics. There are a variety of law pages listed here and there does not seem to be a clear rationale on what law topics are included and what topics are excluded. Perhaps some discussion could clarify the law/ethics divide. Certainly there are areas of law that are considered as questions of ethics, i.e. the behavior of lawyers, for instance, or the distinction between moral obligations and legal obligations as found in civil law, there are also legal issues that touch on moral philosophy; such as questions of fairness in applying the law; but are all general topics such as criminal law, procedure, etc., really ethics topics. Maybe there should be major disambiguation between these topics. Most scholars see ethics and the law as different (if perhaps ocassionally overlapping) areas. Alex756
Why is golf on the list?
[edit] Huh?
This list seems to have no order or clear rationale. Is there, at present, some use for this? Or may I rewrite this article in a way that is more organized and sensible? KSchutte 22:26, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

- I think this page would be perfect if it was moved out of article namespace. Morgan Wick 01:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
