James T. Rule, DDS, MS is professor emeritus at the University of Maryland Dental School, where he was chair of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry from 1978 to 1998. His interest in ethics was stimulated by a sabbatical leave at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University in 1989 and 1990, which culminated in the book Ethical Questions in Dentistry, coauthored with Robert M. Veatch. Dr Rule subsequently initiated a course in professional ethics for dental students and co-founded a graduate course in research ethics for the University of Maryland at Baltimore. He is now retired and lives in Deer Isle, Maine.
