Amy Gutmann | Can Virtue Be Taught to Lawyers?
Gutmann asks first what constitutes legal virtue and follows with discussions of the standard conception ("zealous advocacy") , the justice conception (social justice) , and the character conception (practical judgment) . All three are incomplete, according to Gutmann, lacking an emphasis on the importance of the deliberative virtues. These provide for a robust give-and-take between lawyer and client, such that the lawyer understands the client's goals, can inform the client of strategic legal options, and work together to arrive at a solution within or outside the adversary system.

A) expanding clinical legal practice.
B) incorporating knowledge of strategies into law school courses.
C) teaching students to think rigorously about the moral consequences of alternate legal decisions.
D) all of the above
