Reflections on ethics and legal deontology and its correlation with the formation of new jurists

Abstract

The main goal of this study is a reflection proposal about the ethical canon’s importance and validity in legal professional practice. This axiological perspective of Law impels revels the link and interrelation between two major fields in human science: Law and Ethics. Both complementary, equidistant, and without hierarchy among themselves; regardless of this, the daily practice has revealed that both haven’t been bounded taking different paths. The law history evidences by far, injustice, horror, backwardness and incivility; as well as, the history of the Ethics, is, on its own, that of the effusive speech to which all agree with more or less reasons; for which our professional actions usually do not honor, nor justice. That is precisely the dialectic that this study proposes, highlighting the deontological norms that allow the lawyer to satisfy the inalienable rights of his client, respecting the advocate and values strengthening upon society and human condition; Hence, honesty, probity, rectitude, loyalty, diligence and truthfulness are values that should adorn the neo century jurist’s formation.
