Description
Employees of law firms regularly encounter ethical dilemmas in the course of their work. These situations often arise from competing professional duties, conflicting principles within the ethical code, and the inherently complex nature of legal practice.
This course provides a practical introduction to ethical thinking, using real-world scenarios drawn from legal cases to explore how ethical issues arise and how they can be addressed. Learners will analyse a range of dilemmas, identify the relevant ethical principles that apply, weigh up competing considerations, and reach a reasoned and defensible decision.
By focusing on practical judgement rather than abstract theory, this course helps learners build confidence in handling ethical challenges and applying ethical reasoning consistently in their day-to-day roles.
