Ethical Fallacy

To lawschool i came and now i sit reading Ethics, or rather Aathics as the professor pronounces it . it is very well known that 2+2 is 4 but then people say that ask a lawyer and he could give it to u the way u want. A lawyer can give u 2+2 the way u want and yet u teach him Ethics, ethics to be applied in the profession, imagine after the 5 long years that I huff and puff and take a case where i wld have to defend a criminal who would have for sure killed the victim or defend a corporate client who would have been exposed and been an unfortunate part of that 1% of white collar crimes exposed, I would apply ETHICS, whatever Bentham, Mills, Kant and co. had thought and written years ago to apply in a simple case, the most basic ethical principle is that everything happens for the good, oh yeah the criminal who killed his foe did it for the good of the family of the deceased who might have as well lost their sole breadwinner and yeah the corporate client who swindled money from his office accounts did it for his good but did he do it for the good of the majority of the ppl in his office or the ones that would have benefitted........yes, the point is what is the point of studying ethics...............further what is the use of studying PROFESSIONAL ETHICS in the 10th semester, that twilight of the lawschool innings where almost everyone is placed and rarely would want to go to class......Its time to poke or rather superpoke those benign souls that govern the framing of this syllabus and wake them to reality, tech us something that we would use...not gobbledygooks like this!!
