DD12HW8 Reflect on Peer Review

I learned from reading and replying to my classmates drafts that it is easy to over look requirements. Once you read a document multiple times it is challenging to see some common mistakes. Especially when the document is as long as it has to be with all the components of project #3.
After reviewing their drafts, I realized that my team and I have to double check every requirement for an A, and make sure that our document has them all. Considering there is the format to consider, front matter, body, conclusion, appendices, and everything in between, it is important to thoroughly read through our content with as many different eyes as possible. We need to revise our table of contents once all the necessary edits are made.

DD12HW1 Analyze Ethical Considerations

A couple ethical considerations that I need to watch out for in doing project #3 is mistaking groupthink for teamwork and recognizing plagiarism. Groupthink is when the group pressure prevents people from questioning, criticizing, reporting bad news, or making waves. Groupthink also plays a part in people not taking responsibility for their actions. When learning how to recognize plagiarism it is important to give proper credit to the work of others. In the workplace and in academics plagiarism is no joke. It is a breach of ethics. There is blatant and unintentional plagiarism, however, it does not matter which one an individual participates in, it is still a serious crime.
I will make sure that groupthink does not get to people in my team by asking them outside of the group context if they agree with everything we are writing, or if they have anything to add that they have not. As for plagiarism, we have conducted an originality report, and it came back eat a very low percentage.
As a lawyer there are many ethical considerations to be thought over. Many of the considerations will have to do with clients, and what they disclose to me. There will be several types of ethical dilemmas as well. I already anticipate some hard choices. I will have to consult reasonable criteria for ethical judgment. For example, our obligations of ethics are varied and conflicting. We have an obligation to ourself, to our clients, to our firm, to coworkers, the community, and society. It is difficult to decide where one's particular obligations lie.
In order to remain true to myself I will make sure that I act in my own self interest when necessary. To make sure I remain true to my company, I will make sure to respect the policies, confidential information, expose misconduct if needed, and help with it's goals. To remain true to my profession case documents may be recycled and reused within my profession. It is important that those documents do not get tangled in authorship and plagiarism. I will be sure to be included in cases of laws against deception, copyright laws, liability laws, and more. All of which will come with several ethical considerations.
