Course detail: Ethics in Modern Life: Dilemmas in Law & Journalism

In this interactive online discussion class, we'll explore ethical issues that journalists and lawyers face. For instance, what are the ethical issues that come up when journalists report on mass shootings? Should journalists ever publish stories based only on anonymous sources? And what should a lawyer do if their client wants to testify falsely at their trial? Come join the conversation!
