Question
Stephen Glass made himself infamous as a dishonest journalist by fabricating material for more than forty articles for The New Republic and other publications. At the time, he was a law student at Georgetown University. Once suspicions were aroused, Glass tried to avoid detection. Later, Glass applied for admission to the California bar. The California Supreme Court denied his application, citing “numerous instances of dishonesty” during his “rehabilitation” following the exposure of his misdeeds. How do these circumstances underscore the importance of ethics?
