Jim ... I'm very interested in your dissertation project, as I've
been doing some work myself in the area of ethics and rhetoric.
You probably already know about the Jonsen and Toulmin book
(THE ABUSE OF CASUISTRY), which is the best source I know in the
area.  They refer to some actual cases in the area of bioethics,
but I don't recall if they actually develop them very much as
examples.

As you say, there's lots of theoretical/philosophical
discussion, relatively little _praxis_ (at least published).  The
point casuistry makes is that it's a fallacy to advance
theory/philosophy outside _praxis_.
