Judicial EthicsJudicial EthicsWhat is ethics? How do ethics play a role in our judicial system? Is it possible that a judge can have to go against his own ethical beliefs? These are a few of the questions we will answer.
The first thing we have to ask ourselves is what is business ethics? Business ethics is distinct from personal ethics because it applies not just to an individual but also to an organization, or sometimes to an entire profession. (Introduction to Business Law, 2012)
Just as an individual or a business a judge has to have ethics as well. The reason in this is a judge is a person who makes case law. This is when you take someone to court or a business takes a person to court a judge makes a ruling on the matter by studying the findings in the case. They also have to look at other cases that were tried for some of the same reasons and see how the matters were handled. After doing all that the judge can then make a ruling on the case as to how it will come out. The ruling then becomes precedent. This means that it is binding in all the lower courts that made the decision on the matter. In saying all that just how does ethics play a role in this matter.

This includes any rules that have been set in place which have been used by a Council or by a person to influence the conduct of a Council member or to influence a Council member’s ability to rule and the application of those rules. Rules include, but are not limited to:
Rules where the person has an important financial interest in the subject of a law or statute which has a substantial effect on the functioning of a Council or government function which is likely to result in the Council or government function being influenced by financial interests. That is why the council-member act does not become binding unless a legal amendment or compromise has been offered or a compromise is taken under a legal amendment to the Council‑member act. In such cases the council‑member acting as a council‑member must be a lawyer with a relevant degree of experience in the field.
The rules are a result of an assessment made by the Council under the provisions of Code of Practice. The Council‑member must also be able to demonstrate to the public that he or she believes that it is in the public interests to impose a rule on a particular case. In this case there is only one such rule; it may be the entire law book. These rules are to be followed whether the Council‑member is part of the Council or the Council‑member.
Each of the rules includes that the matter of a law or statutory reference is in relation to a person in a manner which would lead to conflict of interest. This conflicts with other rules that are also in force where an individual is at the centre of an action or situation which would have the potential to have a significant impact on his or her reputation or on his or her employment dealings. If the Council‑member has a duty to act in the community it is to set out the principles that the Council‑member should follow throughout

We need to know what jurisprudence is. This is the study of the philosophy behind the law. When it comes to this there are three primary schools of thought on this jurisprudence. The first would be natural law. Natural law is the theory that there are certain fundamental truths that are universal, and that all laws must exist within the framework of these laws. There was a political philosopher named Thomas Hobbs who listed 19 natural laws. When it come to them some of them were that every man should endeavor peace; that all men that mediate peace be allowed safe conduct. In saying this belief is that natural laws come from the basic moral codes of humanity. If the legal system is influenced by natural law then moral principles must also drive it.
Another philosophy would be that laws are simply made by people, and there is no necessary connection between laws and ethical or moral principles. Positivists believe that laws provide a determinate answer to legal questions. They believe that legality and ethics are entirely separate concepts under this philosophy.
While legal realism recognizes that people make the laws. They believe that the law does not necessarily determine the outcome of a particular situation. They believe that the application of the law determines what the law is. This means that the judge makes his decision based not only on the law but also on social principle, politics and morality.
So when it comes to being a judge and having ethics can be trying for some of them in today’s time and in the past. If you were a judge and you had a lady come before you begging the court for an abortion to save her own life but knowing it would harm another life. How are they supposed to handle the situation
