I have not been a regular althouse reader, but have been dipping into her stuff recently. She spoke at a rotary club meeting. The rotary club has the following creed, called the fourway test. Rotary was started in Chicago by a lawyer concerned about ethics, looking to incorporate small town values into an urbanizing culture. The 4-way test makes for an interesting proposed rule of ethics or jurisprudence or constraint on government action.
Of the things we think, say or do:
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
I wonder whether there have been papers on this, or if it cited in any cases.
Not wondering enough right now to go off and search google, much less westlaw and various databases.
