Teach Justice.

- Abstract
The article suggests four types of moral values that can be taught in law school. The law school should ensure fair treatment among all, with each person entitled to be treated honestly, to be free from injury and to be given what is promised and to respect to which everyone is entitled. Law students must be taught that the law must be told the truth, and that witnesses must swear or affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Students should know that the authority of law in people's lives depends in the law's promotion of fair hearings and the public good. Students must be taught that the law must be just in its procedure and that every lawyer should promote justice.
