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.
