Lambda vs. Ropes & Gray
Fr. Araujo's reflection on Harvard law students' threatened protests against Ropes & Gray raises some interesting questions for me. One thing I emphasize with my students is the need for lawyers to take moral responsibility for their professional decisions. And that would include, I believe, exercising students' marketplace power to make firms accountable for the causes they take on. So while I disagree with the students' belief that the representation of Catholic Charities in this context is illegitimate, I have to applaud their engagement with the moral dimension of legal work.
