Why are ethics important in the legal profession?

Ethics are important in any profession including medicine, science, engineering, plumbing or air conditioning. In law, however, the legal framework and confidence in the administration of justice depends on people’s perception of the ethical basis of laws and the enforcement of laws. Without sound ethics and the enforcement of proper ethical conduct, people would lose confidence in the court and judicial process to perilous effect. If confidence in law is eroded and people fail to respect the authority of the judiciary, we could be faced with anarchy and a disintegration of society as we know it.
