    Try the Poletown Case (General Motors in Detroit in 1980) - a real
    classic for this topic. Harvard Business School Case 9-389-017. In
    an ethic discussion, I try never to prejudge the incident by calling
    it "unjust." If it was, there would be not ethical dilemma.
    Poletown does a good job on this. The case is not a simple one,
    however.

    A series of cases from the "Big 6" firms might also be useful. Try:
    Hopkins v. Price Waterhouse - law suit - woman with family
    Sarah Russell - sexual harassment
    Suzette Washington, Accounting Major - a student bases
