Abstract
I wish to repeat a point and advance a thesis. The point is that analysis of the ethical responsibilities in the practice of law has been seriously hindered by inappropriate comparison with ethics that supposedly govern in everyday life. The thesis is that essentially the same basic dimensions of ethical responsibility may be used to analyze ethics in the practice of law as may be used to analyze ethics in other vocational situations and in everyday life. Because, as I argue, these dimensions are inherent in all ethical problems, they can be used in the comparison of ethical problems arising in the practice of law with those that arise in other settings.
