Brief reflections on professional ethics as a need to be incorporated into the academic thought of the faculties of jurisprudence in national universities

Abstract

Professional ethics, as a regulator of individual conduct in the work of a given profession, fulfills a necessary function and objective. That conduct should be attached to values, which makes it a guide and whose results are (in the case of law), responsibility, diligence, honesty, among others. In the present times, whoever studies in a university center requires an integral formation; that is to say that in addition to the knowledge with which the individual will graduate, he/she must possess in a complementary manner, a clear professional conduct with which he/she must act. Finally, public universities in Ecuador, due to eminently social principles, are in the duty to comply with these guidelines especially behavioral of their graduates.
