Deontology, Utilitarianism, and Virtue Ethics
Larry Solum has provided introductions (for beginning law students) to the three main schools of normative ethics at his Legal Theory Blog: (a) "Deontology", (b) "Utilitarianism", and (c) "Virtue Ethics". These introductions are part of Solum's "Legal Theory Lexicon" series.
I generally check this blog each Sunday for a new installment in the series. Each posting is a well-written introduction to a topic of interest to the beginning law student (and generally to persons with an interest in public administration and economics), together with a set of references and useful web links. The complete set of lexicon posts is here: "Legal Theory Lexicon".
