GBL 295 – Ethics Writing Assignment #4 (Spring, 2018) Instructions

As discussed in class, on or before May 2, 2018 at 11:59pm, you are to upload to D2L

(via a drop box) a typed paper (double spaced) answering the following questions/issues

concerning the book The Buffalo Creek Disaster:

(1) A minimum of ten (10) impressions, reactions, or take-away comments from the

book;

(2) Your reaction to the outcome of the case;

(3) Your personal assessment of the ethical conduct of Gerald M. Stern (attorney), K.K.

Hall (Judge), Pittson, the management of Buffalo Creek, and any other

character/participant in the story;

(4) How the case/story has impacted your view of the legal system (has it re-affirmed

what you thought or, perhaps, changed your view?);

(5) Knowing what you now do, what would you advise Attorney Stern (or someone in his

position), if a case like this were to occur again?

Please upload the paper no later than May 2, 2018 at 11:59pm. Thanks in advance. Yes,

there can be overlap between the items you state in answers to the above questions/issues

(which are intended more as prompts to get you to tell me your impressions of the book and its

characters).
