In beginning my research assignment on the paralegal profession and its impact on ethics, I recalled the information that I learned from Chapter 8 Online Search Techniques: Learning the Methods in the “Legal Research and Writing for Paralegals” textbook. Prior to my search commencing I recalled from Chapter 9 that the most common URL suffixes are .com, .org, .net, .gov, and.edu; but to use my best judgment to determine the accuracy and reliability of a Web site. I learned that search engines provide the link to the Internet or World Wide Web. This process assisted me in gathering information based upon a given set of search terms. I performed a key word search using the Google search engine. Google provides general and advanced searches with an extensive database. I entered in the query “paralegal ethics.” I avoided using the noise word “and” by placing a space between two words which is automatically considered “and” on Google.com. Of the 649,000 results I used the first result from www.nala.org/code.aspx. This was the website of NALA, the National Association of Legal Assistants. “NALA Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility” was first adopted by the NALA in May of 1975. It is the foundation of ethical practices of paralegals in the legal community. The performance of the duties of a paralegal are governed by specific canons as defined in NALA Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility so that justice will be served and goals of the profession attained.

The problem to be investigated is the application of business ethics. In the business world, ethics are extremely important. Ethics are prime elements that help a business to grow and to become more productive. It is by applying proper business ethics that a business can operate in a moral or ethical business environment and managed to conduct all activities in a manner that maximizes profits while not compromising all other non-economic concerns(Schwab, 1996). Businesses have over the years failed to nurture business ethics in order to fulfill shareholders' interests and to have a culture that is oriented towards profit maximization and high performance(Jennings, 2012; Sims & Felton, 2006). This has led business to have gray areas in their activities. Gray areas are those situations or problems that do not fit exactly into any ethical analysis. These are the activities which may be represented to be immoral as a result of lying and false representations on the part of the business.

There is a certain level of ethics in relation to the practice of law with being an attorney. While I was a freshman in college, a professor who is also a former detective was testifying in a murder trial of a 13 year-old-girl. I decided I would attend the trial because I was curious of what it would be like and it was also open to the public. I saw both counsels arguing passionately – each seemingly convinced of the rectitude of his own arguments and in the outrageousness of the other’s positions. Perhaps naïvely, my first reaction was to question the defendant 's attorney. How could he represent an individual he must have known to be guilty of murder? How could he consciously endeavor to deprive the victim 's family of the truth? Even then, I understood that the law requires that every individual, irrespective of circumstance, be entitled to proper representation and that such a commitment is necessary to ensure liberty and due process of law. Nonetheless, I had my reservations. A careful analysis of the relationship between ethics and the law provided me some clarity.
