5 Key Concepts 1. Your conduct involves both legal requirements and ethical considerations. 2. Your conduct includes limitations on: Voting Contracting Gifts & Favors Use of Confidential Information 3. You have a choice about how to act; you should evaluate legal and ethical factors in deciding how
6 Ethics vs. Law Who decides when a public official has acted illegally? Legislature: Judges: apply defines common conduct law rules, that established prohibited through and case establishes law. Note: Legislature sanctions (criminal, can override civil, the invalidation common of law. action)
7 Sources of Legal Standards Federal Law Common Law State Law Local Code of Ethics
8 Ethics vs. Law Who decides when a public official has acted unethically? Other The The public Citizens press officials
9 Deciding How to Act: Two Questions Is it legal? Is it ethical? Your Decision
10 Legal Requirements 1. Ethics Training & Local Ethics Codes 2. Duty to Vote 3. Objectivity and fairness in quasi-judicial decisions 4. Self-benefitting in public contracting prohibited 5. Gifts and favors prohibited
