Content Description: Further discussion of when dracheha darchei noam applies, and when it does not. The Bais Yosef extends this principle from just being a tool of technical darshening, to explaining a prevalent minhag. Teshuvas HaRosh defines a crime based on an act violating darchei noam, aside from considerations of honesty and strict halachah. Invoking darchei noam as a way to address a doubt regarding how a last will is meant to be understood. Darchei noam as being equivalent to proper, upright conduct.
