Summary
We end as we began, with an exploration of some connections between religious consciousness and the practice of law. I look at the topic of this part (and of Chapter 2 in the introductory part) through the lens of law practice largely because I am a lawyer and a law teacher, and my firsthand experience is both grounded and limited thereby. Beyond that, however, I think there is more to be learned by looking somewhat deeply at one field than skating lightly over a selected few. Readers working in or studying a different profession can, I hope, readily consider the applicability of the problems addressed here to other aspects of work life.
