I've been wondering about this, if they teach ethics at UND Law School besides "How much of a cunt can I be before I get censured or go to jail?", do they use the North Dakota Century Code as their primary reference?
So does the studying the North Dakota Century Code play a big part of preparing for those tests?
Honest to pete, my mom worked in public service, and she didn't have to look at the North Dakota Century Code to determine if something was ethical or not.
Pro-tip: If you have to ask if an action is legal, it's highly unlikely that it's ethical.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
You didn't answer my question, but, yeah, that's my whole point: The North Dakota Century Code is a collection of statues, not a guidebook on ethics so why is it seemingly the North Dakota ETHICS Commission sole source for making decisions?
And while I can think of some acts that might be illegal and yet ethical, they usually involve unjust laws so I'm having a hard time figuring out an example of scenario where this would apply to a ND state legislator. Can you give me some hypothetical situations?
On the flip side, I can think of all sorts of things that aren't illegal according to the ND Century Code but still highly unethical.
