North Carolina Superior Court Judge Ola Lewis visited the Institute today to discuss ethics. The judge began her presentation by telling the Institute’s scholars, how refreshing it was for her to spend time with high achievers, since so many of the young men she encounters are facing criminal prosecution.

While her remarks were primarily focused on the broad application of ethical principles, Judge Lewis provided much anecdote from her experience on the bench. She spoke about the importance of being ethical in decision-making, and stressed how unethical behavior can ruin an otherwise promising career.
