Legal Ethics and Legalised Legal Ethics

This essay seeks to analyse the connections between disciplinary law, professional codes, and legal ethics, aiming to explore the implications of these relationships for ethical reflection and compliance. Drawing on insights from the work of Foucault and critical legal studies, a conceptual distinction is made between the concepts of reflection and compliance within the domain of legal ethics. This provides a theoretical framework for exploring non-legalised legal ethics and its potential implications.
