LEGAL ETHICS
In contrast to the perception of much of the public, law as a profession has, at its core, a
body of ethical considerations and constantly seeks to balance interests and achieve fairness
in process and result. As such, legal ethics are an important matter to all participants in the
profession. They are expressed in a variety of ways: through academic writing, professional
discussion, rules of court, and guidelines set out by the profession itself. Related topic: PRO-
FESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
DISCIPLINAIRE (DROIT)
Sous-ensemble du droit des professions, le droit disciplinaire mérite une mention autonome
en raison de sa spécif‌icité et de sa place intermédiaire entre le droit pénal et le droit de la RES-
PONSABILITÉ CIVILE. La discipline dans les milieux de travail relève du droit du TRAVAIL. La
discipline dans la fonction publique est étudiée en droit ADMINISTRATIF.
