A quick definition of ethical consideration:

Term: Ethical Consideration

Definition: Ethical consideration is a principle that guides a lawyer's behavior and actions in a professional setting. It is an ideal that lawyers should strive to uphold, but breaking it does not always result in punishment. The Model Code of Professional Responsibility outlines these considerations, which are meant to ensure that lawyers act in a fair and just manner towards their clients and the legal system as a whole.

Abbreviation: EC

Related Term: Disciplinary Rule

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ethical consideration is a principle that guides a lawyer's professional conduct. It is an aspirational goal that lawyers should strive to achieve. The Model Code of Professional Responsibility contains these considerations, and violating them may not necessarily lead to disciplinary action. Ethical considerations are abbreviated as EC.

  • A lawyer should maintain client confidentiality and not disclose any information without the client's consent.
  • A lawyer should avoid conflicts of interest and not represent clients with opposing interests.
  • A lawyer should provide competent representation to clients and not take on cases beyond their expertise.

These examples illustrate how ethical considerations guide a lawyer's behavior. By following these principles, lawyers can maintain their clients' trust and uphold the integrity of the legal profession.
