Take a look in the Academy for a bit, even look at your old Knight in the Galadon Paladin's guild.

Paladin's believe in honor, chivalry, virtue amongst others. One of these things is obeying the Laws. The person who breaks laws for the greater good would be a lightwalking ranger etc. Paladins are holy warriors, given their strength through pure dedication to a code of chivalry and honor.

I personally, would think it in very bad form for even a Paladin of Shokai to kill a naked Necromancer, or even Anti-Paladin. The Paladin, no matter his religion, win his battles with honor and virtue. He will not sink low as to kill people dishonorably. (ie, unlawfully)
