Abstract
Our thanks to the editors of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Journal for the opportunity to respond to Jack Sammons' review of our recent book. We are honored to be taken seriously by someone as thoughtful as Sammons. We especially like his suggestion that, "[I]t would be good for everyone in the legal profession to pay attention to what Shaffer and Cochran have done here." (We hope they all buy copies of the book.) We see his book review (as we know he sees it) as moral discourse among friends; we respond in the same spirit. Though Sammons credits us with "the first good heuristic model . . . for moral counseling in the law office," he thinks we "have the model all wrong." We think that, in many respects, he furthers the understanding of what it means to be a lawyer and a good person; but, in some respects, he misreads us, and in other respects he is wrong.
