2.6 Codes of Conduct

Character in the Professions: Law

Discussion Board Unit 2.6


Please use these discussion boards to interact with your fellow learners. The discussion boards provide a unique opportunity for learners to debate ideas and thoughts generated by the ‘Character in the Professions: Law’ course and reflect on the application of theory discussed in your professional lives.


Unit 2.6 looks at regulatory ‘Codes of Conduct’ in the legal profession in England and Wales. Simply having written codes of conduct cannot guarantee the ethical performance of professionals.
Below are the Codes of Conduct for the various branches of the legal profession in England and Wales.

















Activity 3 asks you to review the ‘you must’ and ‘you should’ terminology in these Codes. Is this prescriptive language useful as a trainee lawyer?

Design an ethical dilemma for fellow learners and describe it on these discussion boards. Challenge each other to create a list of actions and choose a course of action.  


Please post your comments below and join the discussion.
