I have been asked to opine on the following issues with respect to watching a short film titled Michael Clayton in which the moral issues of ethics arises. In this respect I intend to discuss the moral framework(s) surrounding the practice of law. It is submitted generally that the standard conception of lawyer’s ethics is considered the standard ethical framework. More importantly the conception of lawyers ethics termed adversarial advocacy has three distinct principles underpinning it mainly the principle of partisanship, where a lawyer is committed to securing the clients main objectives. Next there is principle of neutrality which states that the lawyer must remain neutral when it comes to the moral merits of their clients known objectives.
