Public servants are required to make decisions that will affect fellow citizens in a variety of ways. As trustees of the people, public servants should make every effort to create an atmosphere of public trust. Because public policy decisions may require thinking and acting differently from private/personal decisions, it is important that clerks understand and examine their legal, moral, and ethical public sector obligations. This core course will describe key principles of public sector ethics and will examine the range of consequences for public servants when ethical decision-making is in question including public perception/appearance, liability, and impropriety.
