Legal Theory Lexicon: "Virtue Ethics"

Larry Solum has posted an(other) invaluable entry in his "Legal Theory Lexicon" series, on "Virtue Ethics."  (Here is the entry for "utilitarianism", and here is the one for "deontology.")  Oddly enough, Solum says nothing about the role of virtue ethics in the work of, say, Aquinas, Finnis, or MacIntyre.  This seems particularly strange, given that (as I understand it, though I could be wrong) G.E.M. Anscombe -- who is often given credit for the "aretaic turn" in moral philosophy -- was a serious and committed Catholic.
