The law is based upon property rights, based upon assumptions of ownership, that may or may not have an ethical basis. Once these assumptions have been made, the law attempts to govern the equitable resolution of disputes and is, in this sense, ethical. Lawyers and judges are also governed by very strict canons of ethics. By way of example, it might not be fair for one man to own ten houses and another to have none, but if the wealthier man seeks to oust the poorer as a tenant from his tenth house, the law will never consider the fairness of the disproportionate ownership of wealth, but will turn its attention to ensuring that the poorer man is fairly ousted and that he has received all of the notices and rights accorded him by law before he is ousted.
