What does ethics mean and why is it so important in the legal system and can it ensure   that lawyers can be trusted?

Alma- Constance and Lucinda speak to Richard Moorhead, Professor of Law and Professional Ethics at the University of Exeter Law School and Honorary Professor of Law at UCL. He is also a member of the Horizon Compensation Advisory Board in relation to the Post Office Horizon scandal.

He tells us

·      What ethics means

·      Why it’s so important in the legal system

·      How lawyers are trained to be ethical in their work

·      How standards maintained and checked

·      What can happen if lawyers do behave unethically

·      What could be done to prevent such problems

When Richard was 10, he wanted to be a footballer or a popstar!

Written, edited and produced by Lucinda Acland.
