Ethics of the Legal Professions – Present and Perspectives

Abstract

The ethics of the legal professions precisely with this human factor, has to do with its importance and results from the need to ensure a unitary way of interpreting and applying the law. Regardless of how good a law would be, this does not guarantee that it will be interpreted and applied equally in all situations in which it would be incidental, if those who depend on this process are not encouraged by the same moral values. However, in order to achieve this goal, those who apply the law must follow common rules of professional ethics. This implies, first of all, a debate on these rules of professional ethics, because at this moment in the Romanian society, this is not sufficiently realized.
