  • Cheating

    Ethics in Everyday Life

    by Deborah L. Rhode ...
    Cheating is deeply embedded in everyday life. The costs of the most common forms of cheating total close to a trillion dollars annually. Part of the problem is that many individuals fail to see such behavior as a serious problem. "Everyone does it" is a common rationalization, and one that comes uncomfortably close to the truth. That perception is also self-perpetuating. The more that individuals ... Read more

  • Character

    What it Means and Why it Matters

Yet in the United States, the institutions charged with that mission have ... Read more

  • Access to Justice

    by Deborah L. Rhode ...
    "Equal Justice Under Law" is one of America's most proudly proclaimed and widely violated legal principles. But it comes nowhere close to describing the legal system in practice. Millions of Americans lack any access to justice, let alone equal access. Worse, the increasing centrality of law in American life and its growing complexity has made access to legal assistance critical for all citizens. ... Read more

  • The Trouble with Lawyers

    by Deborah L. Rhode ...
    By any measure, the law as a profession is in serious trouble. Americans' trust in lawyers is at a low, and many members of the profession wish they had chosen a different path. Law schools, with their endlessly rising tuitions, are churning out too many graduates for the jobs available. Yet despite the glut of lawyers, the United States ranks 67th (tied with Uganda) of 97 countries in access to ... Read more

  • Lawyers as Leaders

    by Deborah L. Rhode ...
    No occupation in America supplies a greater proportion of leaders than the legal profession, yet it has done little to prepare them for this role.

And yet almost no occupation rouses greater public distrust. This paradox raises ... Read more

    by Deborah L. Rhode ...
    What Women Want is a trenchant examination of the struggle for women's equality, and a prescription for what to focus on next in order to ensure maximum success.

Despite significant progress over the last fifty years, equality is ... Read more
