This collec- tion of talks is designed to assist law students and attorneys in their work to be moral healers, professionals, and servants in the law. Some of the speeches focus on the process of being ethical or competent. They speak to the practical and spiritual decisions that professionals make to become better. Other talks touch on the results of moral choices for Christian lawyers, holding them up as worthy goals. The book’s categories, “Be Ethical,” “Be Healers,” “Be Professional,” and “Be Servants” address what lives of service and integrity in the law can look like. Each of these categories has aspects of both process and prod- uct. Our hope is that the readers will become ethical lawyers, constantly striving in the process and always improving themselves as the product. In addition, at the end of this volume are a set of materials specific to J. Reuben Clark Law School, an institution founded to leaven the loaf of the legal profession and society, a continual process and a never-ending product. This volume seeks to perpetuate the memory and name of J. Reuben Clark Jr., a man of integrity, who constantly improved himself through- out his life by serving others. This book is not about him, although seven photos are included and he is profiled substantially in two chapters. (See pages 225–238 and 287–289.) Rather, this volume shows the legacy being created by good men and women associated with the two institutions that carry his name: J. Reuben Clark Law School and the J. Reuben Clark Law Society. Most of these chapters originally were talks given at BYU Law School, at Clark Society events, or at Brigham Young University, and pub- lished in the Clark Memorandum. This book is a successor volume to an earlier compilation, Life in the Law: Answering God’s Interrogatories (2002). v vi Preface Many individuals assisted in the process of producing this book. For their enthusiastic support we thank the recent deans of BYU Law School (Kevin J Worthen, James D. Gordon III, and James R. Rasband) and the chairs of the J. Reuben Clark Law Society (Lew Cramer, Joseph Bentley, Brent Belnap, and Nancy VanSlooten). We thank for their significant help in many ways: Kevin J. Abbott, Dave Eliason, Joyce Janetski, Tyler Lake, Doug Maxwell, Natalie Miles, Bjorn Pendleton (cover design), Adrian Selle, and Rebecca Wood. Finally, a special thank you goes to Jeanette Befus and the Law School Accounting staff for their tireless service with the prior, current, and future volumes of Life in the Law. Scott W. Cameron Galen L. Fletcher Jane H. Wise BE ETHICAL How Do We Practice Our Religion While We Practice? Thomas B. Griffith I was asked to speak at a J. Reuben Clark Law Society event in Portland, Oregon, as a last-minute fill-in replacement for Senator Gordon Smith, who couldn’t attend because he was participating in the Senate’s debate over the Iraq War resolution. All agreed that his absence was excused. I knew that the audience would be bitterly disappointed to settle for me in the place of Senator Smith, and, wanting to lessen their disap- pointment to the extent that I could, I decided that I would take a stab at the topic he had chosen for the day, “How Do We Practice Our Religion While We Practice?” I found the exercise of addressing that topic to be helpful to me. I hope that you find it helpful to you. Senator Smith’s question is, I believe, an acknowledgment that certain endeavors in this life entail greater spiritual risks than do others. Now, I realize that there are spiritual risks in all human activities, includ- ing church work. No less an authority than Screwtape himself observed, “Nowhere do we tempt so successfully as on the very steps of the altar” (C. S. Lewis, “Screwtape Proposes a Toast,” The Screwtape Letters [New York: Macmillan, 1961], 172). Remember the Lord’s warning to us in d&c 121 about the unrighteous use of the priesthood: “We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men .

  • Cetology and Crustaceology in Moby-Dick and “Consider the Lobster”
    Ethics and Semiogenic Construction of Other Animals: Cetology and Crustaceology in Moby-Dick and “Consider the Lobster” By Eva Natalia Kasprzycka A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of English, Film, Theatre and Media University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2019 by Eva Kasprzycki i Abstract This thesis brings together a ten-page essay on lobsters and a 700-page book on whales to scrutinize the semiogenic construction of creatures floating in the political animal menagerie. Herman Melville’s novel Moby-Dick and David Foster Wallace’s essay “Consider the Lobster” are texts that are fundamentally concerned with the ethical stakes of textual and historical representations of cetaceans and crustaceans. Both these works explore the intersection between the unknowability of nonhuman animal subjectivity and the industrial rendering of nonhuman animal bodies —an intersection paved and maintained by biopolitical agents that emphasize the former so that the latter can occur without criticism. Despite being published 154 years apart, both these works use the New England coastline to portray industries of death and devouring, both of which are centres of epistemological ambiguity for Wallace and Melville. By theoretically unpacking the political, cultural and historical portrayal of crustaceans and cetaceans in these two literary works, this thesis pursues some of the intra-active networks —in particular those of speciesist ideology— that encase and weave together the industrialized biocapital of nonhuman bodies to the aesthetic representation of them. ii Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank the Department of English, Film and Theatre for the financial support that made this endeavour a lot easier.

    Life and adventures of Col. L. A. Norton LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF COL. L. A. NORTON. WRITTEN BY HIMSELF. OAKLAND, CAL., PACIFIC PRESS PUBLISHING HOUSE. 1887. ENTERED ACCORDING TO ACT OF CONGRESS, IN THE YEAR 1887, BY L. A. NORTON, IN THE OFFICE OF THE LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS, AT WASHINGTON. THE PACIFIC PRESS, Printers, Electrotypers, and Binders, OAKLAND AND SAN FRANCISCO. Life and adventures of Col. L. A. Norton http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.189 AUTHOR's PREFACE. IN unveiling my life to the public gaze, I am not actuated by any eulogistic or mercenary motives. Nor do I think that the life of any man in the ordinary walks of life is going to electrify the world, or even be extensively circulated or generally read, in this day and age when so many are rushing into print. And as evidence that this sentiment is honest, the small edition of one thousand copies is sufficient. Notwithstanding this declaration, I imagine I have a history, and in many respects a remarkable one; and that it is fraught with interest which will repay the reader for his labor, and more especially the young American who is so unfortunate as to be turned out on the world without a penny or influential friends to aid him. It will at least show him what one waif, cast out upon the stormy billows of life, has accomplished; or, in other words, what a determined spirit, possessed of energy and perseverance, may accomplish. But my principal object in writing these sketches is to leave my record with my children and friends.
