LAW STUDIES QUESTION..... What is the relationship between ethics and law?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Law is backed by the power of the state to compel, to punish and coerce compensation of loss Ethics are principles of conduct which cultures generally agree upon ... there is no state coercion involved if you don't behave in accordance with the standards There appears to be some convergence: a lawyer who violates the Code of Ethics could be sanctioned in one way or another; but this is really law, not ethics no matter what they call it ... the board of law examiners is invested (by law) with discretionary power to discipline lawyers ... same goes for other licensed professions.
