Ethics Case Reports. Questionable ethical behavior may or may not also entail questionable lawful behavior. Several case reports are presented to differentiate legal and ethical issues. There is often an overlap of ethical and legal boundaries; so many situations may have both legal and ethical implications. The ramifications of legal vs. ethical violations are obviously different. Hypothetical case reports will include: hostile work environment, sexual harassment, graduate student progress impediments, substance abuse, and questionable practice.
