Re: Definiton of Professional vs Personal ethics

More | Report Post

Professional ethics are the only ones that have any legal
significance. They are contained in your state's rules of
professional conduct for lawyers.

As for personal ethics? I don't know. Lying, cheating and
stealing are out, as are all other offenses of moral
turpitude and dishonesty. Abusing others is out. Filthy
language is out because it offends people. Disobedience to
lawful authority is a sign one is ethically challenged.
Using dope and tobacco, drinking to excess and gambling are
signs of louche living and disclose a tendency to skate
close to the line, and a lack of self control...
if your personal ethics are pegged to "I'll do what I please
as long as I think nobody's watching" that's a red flag
What else is there?

Oh....someone once said that the true test of a man's
character is what he does when he thinks nobody's looking...
