The term "natural law" is ambiguous, but there are two theories about it coming from ethics and they are largely independent. One is the Natural Law Moral Theory, which states that moral standards that govern human behavior are objectively derived from the nature of human beings and the nature of the world n some sense.
The other is the Natural Law Theory. There are variations of this theory, but they all are derived from the belief that the authority of legal standards necessarily are derived from consideration having to do with the moral merit of those standards, at least in part. They differ as to the role that morality plays in determining the authority of legal norms.
Both basically believe that morality (ethics) has an effect on natural law, so in a sense, natural law would come from ethics.

Is law more important than ethics?
The law and the constitution are not necessarily superior to ethics, however, they are more clearly defined, and they are enforced by the government. There are certainly some cases in which a particular individual has a better understanding of ethics than the police, judges, or other officials with whom he or she may be dealing. There are also lots of cases in which individuals have less understanding or less concern for ethics than government officials do. But in either case, governments have considerable power with which to enforce the law.
