Everyday Ethics for Local Officials

"Everyday Ethics" is the Institute's award-winning column. Every two months, the Institute's ethics program analyzes different ethical dilemmas public officials are likely to face. Some of these dilemmas have legal dimensions, some have ethical dimensions and many are a combination of both. The column appears in Western City magazine, the monthly publication of one of the Institute's parent organizations, the League of California Cities.
