The dignity of work is a foundation of Christian belief. But working hard is not an end in itself.  

The work of lawyers, when directed and informed by Christian ethics, is essential to the promotion of the rule of law, human dignity, and social justice.

This CPD seminar, presented by Matthew Harvey KC, will consider the work ethic of lawyers and why Christian ethics are critical to the work lawyers do.
