ARANGUEZ SANCHEZ, Tasia. Virtue Ethics and Legal Professions. Probl. anu. filos. teor. derecho [online]. 2018, n.12, pp.169-197. Epub 01-Dic-2018. ISSN 2448-7937. https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24487937e.2018.12.12447.
What virtues should judges have? What about attorneys and legal officials? This work is focused on the ethical nature of the legal profession and raises the need to have models of excellence that lean toward the promotion of justice. Understanding the law as the art of persuasion, the classic paradigm of “rhetoric of virtue” is discussed, as formulated by Cicero and Quintilian. The task of the judiciary as an abstract exercise is put forward and the paper claims to recover the compassionate model of justiciability defended by Aristotle.
