Brief mention as fifth-century BC professional rule set. Contrast case to Hammurabi.
Magna Carta is old, and that's a set of rules. I was thinking of one older than that, which is the Hippocratic Oath. It's the set of rules that physicians use, and that goes back to about the fifth century BC. You could talk about the Magna Carta, you can talk about lots of things through the ages of different rules and regulations through which society is interacting. The one I gave you the first day of class was the basis of conventional lightning protection systems, which goes through and talks about the history of what happened after Ben Franklin.
