Professional Ethics is also known as legal ethics.
“ Legal Ethics is that
branch of moral science which treats of the duties of a member of the legal profession to the public, the court to his professional brethren and to his client. ( Ethics is the study of the meaning and application of judgement of good, bad, right, wrong and every evaluation of law involves an ethical judgement.” “Ethics as Harold H. Titus points out, “attempts to determine what conduct is good and what is bad and what ought to be approved and what disapproved. It undertakes to furnish its standard for distinguishing between a better character or a worst one. Thus, it is a normative study of principles underlying the desirable types of human conduct.”
