摘要

近年来，律师的不当行为和职业监管一直是人们相当感兴趣的话题。然而，当提出法律伦理的话题时，焦点往往是律师在事务所之外的行为:律师在法庭上的行为;律师对客户的行为;或者律师对对方律师或司法部门的行为。然而，最近的全国离职和再聘用研究(NARS)提出了法律职业道德的不同方面。本报告发现，律师事务所内部普遍存在欺凌、恐吓、歧视和骚扰现象，主要影响但不限于女律师。当然，欺凌和相关行为并不局限于法律行业。但这些行为与一个声称深切关注其成员道德行为的职业格格不入。这篇论文认为“道德始于家庭”，认为NARS提出了关于法律职业道德的令人不安的问题:如果律师事务所不能以道德的方式对待自己的员工，这说明该公司在更普遍的道德行为方面采取了什么措施?如果这种文化像报告中所说的那样普遍存在，那么这对整个法律职业的道德规范意味着什么呢?

Ethics begin at home

ABSTRACT Over recent years, lawyer misconduct and regulation of the profession have been topics of considerable interest. Yet, when the topic of legal ethics is raised, the focus tends to be on lawyer conduct external to the firm: lawyer conduct in court; lawyer conduct vis-a-vis client; or lawyer conduct vis-a-vis opposing counsel or the judiciary. The recent National Attrition and Re-engagement Study (NARS), however, raises a different aspect of legal professional ethics. This Report found a widespread incidence of bullying, intimidation, discrimination and harassment within law firms, primarily affecting though not confined to, female lawyers. Of course, bullying and associated behaviours are not confined to the legal profession. But these behaviours are at odds with a profession that purports to be deeply concerned with the ethical conduct of its members. Arguing that ‘ethics begins at home’, this paper suggests NARS raises uncomfortable questions about legal professional ethics: if law firms cannot treat their own staff members ethically, what does that say about the firm’s approach to ethical conduct more generally? And if this culture is as widespread as the report suggests, what does this say about the ethics of the legal profession as a whole?

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
