Description
Application of the Law
Identify the legal issues (e.g., specific laws or rules) that were violated or that might have arisen or that could have been invoked (Constitutional law, statutory law, administrative law, case law, common law, civil law, criminal law, national law, international law). Name or list specific laws that apply or that you think might to the case. Cite all sources using APA documentation style.
Code of Ethics
Identify the professional and/or corporate code of ethics that applies to the case. Download and review Week 5: ETHC232 Professional Codes of Ethics.
Using one of the professional codes on that list and/or, as appropriate, an online code from a business or industry that directly applies to the case, determine what the ethical priorities are and the nature of the commitment to ethical behavior. Identify in the code the stakeholders and the specific procedures or policies that clarify what is acceptable and unacceptable conduct. Detail some specific ways in which the interest and welfare of various stakeholders are protected. Apply the code to the circumstances of the case. Did the code of ethics apply effectively to the case? Would the outcome have changed had the stakeholders followed the principles and priorities of the code? What, if anything, is missing from the code that might have prevented the ethical issue in the first place?
