LJU4802 – Professional Ethics Exam Pack with Question
and Answers 2022 and previous years.



YEAR 2022




1.1 Define the term “legal ethics” in a narrow and broader sense. (5)

In the wide sense, it refers in general to the relationship between law and ethics (or morality). For
example: May the law be used to enforce moral views on abortion, homosexuality, prostitution or
human cloning?

in the narrow sense, the term refers to the ethical standards of professional conduct applicable to
the field of law (as opposed to the field of medicine, for example, in which case we would speak
of “medical ethics” to refer to the professional conduct required of medical practitioners). Legal
ethics in the narrow sense therefore deals with the “ought” of providing legal services: “How
ought a legal practitioner to behave in order to be a good, decent and proper legal practitioner?”

1.2 Read the following statement and answer the question that follows:




“To regard lawyers as no more than businessmen [or -women] would mean that the idea of the law
and the objectives of justice, such as fair trade and equal distribution of privileges and responsibilities
relating to property, liberty and life, would be thwarted. Only the most profitable cases would then be
accepted by practitioners, and only the rights and privileges of those able to pay the high fees of legal
services would be protected.” mIn view of the above quotation, explain how the legal profession is
different from a normal job, business or trade, by referring to any 5 characteristics of a “profession”.
