In this episode, G. Alex Sinha, Assistant Professor of Law at Quinnipiac University School of Law, discusses his article "Virtuous Law-Breaking," which will be published in the Washington University Jurisprudence Review. Sinha begins by explaining what virtue ethics and virtue jurisprudence are, and how they differ from other ethical and jurisprudential theories. He observed that virtue ethics is often used to justify politically conservative beliefs, but argues that it can also justify progressive beliefs, especially when viewed through the lens of self-respect.
