Legal ethics is a set of principles or rules that help people working in the legal system make decisions. Legal ethics help lawyers, judges, paralegals, and other people who work in the legal system, follow certain standards of conduct when they work. This helps ensure that they treat others with respect and fairness, and act in a way that is honest and trustworthy. This means that everyone working in the legal system should not be dishonest or try to influence someone for their own benefit, but instead make decisions that are in the best interest of their clients. Legal ethics help to protect the rights of everyone involved in the legal system, including both the people who are accused of crimes and those who are making legal decisions.
