> its primary purpose is to organize the reasons behind your action and to
> defend your decision. While each section of the memo has a word count
> limit, a concise memo will often be much shorter. I recommend aiming for
> roughly one-half of the maximum, but you can always write more if
> necessary.

> The goal is to use the norms of both ethical perspectives to write a memo
