This article examines the philosophical underpinnings of legal ethics, exploring the fundamental dilemmas that challenge legal practitioners. It analyses how legal ethics intersects with broader moral philosophy, raising critical questions about the nature of justice, the role of the lawyer, and the tension between personal morality and professional duties.
