- Description
- In his follow-up Sphex talk, Professor Tory L. Lucas delves into the concept of Sloth in the context of legal ethics, arguing that sloth, or the avoidance of important work, undermines the fundamental duties of attorneys such as competence, diligence, and zealousness. Lucas explores the historical perspectives of sloth from Evagrius to St. Thomas Aquinas, highlighting its detrimental effects on self and society. He advocates for disciplined perseverance and client-focused service as antidotes, underscoring the importance of equal justice under law and the necessity of meeting legal challenges with zeal and dedication.
