Abstract
GALLARDO, Yurixhi and TORRES ORTEGA, Ilsse Carolina. Professional Ethics and Law: Documentary Research to Understand Their Scope. Díkaion [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.1, e3219. Epub Feb 07, 2023. ISSN 0120-8942. https://doi.org/10.5294/dika.2023.32.1.9.
This paper intends to explore the literature on professional ethics in law. The research is twofold, descriptive and analytical, to offer an overview of how professional ethics is understood in this field; that is, the approaches and concerns of those who reflect on it. This exercise, in turn, aims at making a normative proposal to understand professional ethics in law and its implementation in learning and practicing legal professions. A mixed method is used for this purpose; the works from a search in Google Scholar and Mendeley databases are selected and analyzed. This paper is divided into five sections: The first presents the theoretical framework for approaching ethics and professional ethics in law; the second part explains the methodology followed; the third part shows the results; the fourth part discusses the results, and the last one proposes some lines of research concerning professional ethics in law.
Keywords : Ethics; professional ethics; law; legal professions; legal education.
