In light of our discussion on the FLDS case, Christopher suggested a thread on the origins of law. I liked that idea and have a few drafts started. But it struck me that it might work better as a series of questions that pull out various views of the law and its role (or source) in our society (or any society). Perhaps this can be a sort of wiki effort at developing and teasing various views of the law and its source.
Question #1: What is your duty to your fellow man (and by “man,” of course, I mean “human being”)? And from where does that duty arise?
[Full disclosure: this question is lifted from our course on Social Justice and the Law that several readers and writers of this blog are taking this summer.]
