Heights of Justice

Abstract:     
In this book, Boston College Law School's Academic Dean, Lawrence Cunningham, arranges selected contributions of his faculty's scholarship into a meditation upon justice. The book weaves a combination of theory and practice to articulate moral and ethical values that facilitate rational application of law. It envisions legal arrangements imbued with commitments of the Jesuit tradition, including the dignity of persons, the common good and compassion for the poor. This reflective collection of inquiry evokes a signature motif of the BC Law faculty in dozens of different legal subjects. Materials downloadable from this abstract consist of: Table of Contents, Acknowledgements, Introduction and Index of Contributions.

Keywords: justice, Jesuit tradition, Jesuit values, legal ethics, professional responsibility, legal education, dignity of persons, poverty law, care for the poor, advancement of the common good, discrimination law, rational application of law
