What should the people expect from their legal officials? This book
asks whether officials can be moral and still follow the law,
answering that the law requires them to do so. It revives the idea
of the good official - the good lawyer, the good judge, the good
president, the good legislator - that guided Cicero and Washington
and that we seem to have forgotten. Based on stories and law cases
from America's founding to the present, this book examines what is
good and right in law and why officials must care. This overview of
official duties, from oaths to the law itself, explains how morals
and law work together to create freedom and justice, and it
provides useful maxims to argue for the right answer in hard cases.
Important for scholars but useful for lawyers and readable by
anybody, this book explains how American law ought to work.
