The Honor Code at Notre Dame is unique due to the spirit that pervades Notre Dame's entire environment.
Judicial ethics guide the attorney in reacting to sensitive issues.
Most honor codes are based on this system. At Notre Dame there is a more meaningful justification. Notre Dame Law School is more than just an institution organized to produce qualified lawyers who will someday face their share of ethical enigmas. Notre Dame is a group of people who not only learn together but also live, study and laugh together. We like to speak of it in terms of a community people cooperating.
