| Summary: |
The study and discussion of Ethics in Law is nothing
less than the reinforcement of the idea that it is the sun around
which all legal professionals ought to revolve under the penalty
of losing their most vital scope and foundation: Justice. Pondering
human actions is the object of Ethics. Ethical problems include
the meaning of life, human freedom, whether there is a manner
of living that leads to a good life, the basis of duty, desire, the
nature of good and evil, along with other questions intimately
connected with human action. The static juridical dogma that
was in force during the modern age no longer serves contemporary
society, which demands a new challenge to Law, which is: to
apply justice to concrete cases thinking of law with principles
and values, as well as create mechanisms by which legal precepts
may be adapted to new situations as they arise. Therefore, Law is
to be praised in the socialization, promotion, and operation by
which it effectively aids in the concretization of social and personal
objectives, adapted to a political-constitutional philosophy and
consolidating normative and theoretical advances that, if
understood and applied by legal practitioners, will transform the
aforementioned goals into reality. |
