Panel will discuss morals and legislation

Tuesday, April 14, 2009

The St. Thomas More Society of the University of Kansas will host a panel this afternoon from 3 to 5 p.m. in 203 Green Hall to discuss how recent legislation and economic activity has shifted America’s moral perspective of the law.

The symposium will take a look at issues American society didn’t take much notice in, like CEO bonuses, before the recession and government bailouts. Josh Goetting, Leavenworth second-year law student and president of the St. Thomas More Society, said the financial crisis has brought new issues to light that students haven’t previously considered.

“This panel is important for students who aren’t so familiar with the laws because every time the legislature passes a new law it has a lot to do with the moral perspectives this society has as a whole,” Goetting said.

Panelists include Michael Scaperlanda, professor at the University of Oklahoma College of Law, Michael Schuttloffel, executive director of the Kansas Catholic Conference, and Kara Tan Bhala, senior portfolio manager for the Merrill Lynch Dragon Fund.
