Ethical behaviour is determined by an individuals context ie their background beliefs, values and morals. Large groups of individuals can then work together to make these behaviours the legal standard which means that if one individual does not act in this way, they are able to be sanctioned either via fines or imprisonment etc. In effect, what was a personal choice becomes a governing rule with an associated punishment to act as a deterrent.

Personal and legal ethics are distinct. Legal ethics may require conduct inconsistent with one's personal ethics, which is the basis for a good deal of the criticism of the legal profession. However, it is understandable, or should be, that there is a distinction between personal and legal ethics. Legal ethics involves obligations owed to clients, third parties, courts and to the profession itself. In that sense one's personal ethics may be simpler to apply as there are fewer variables when one is acting in one's personal capacity than there are when one is acting as a lawyer.
They are very important.As a legal practitioner you have to have excellent ethics so that you do not compromise your ethical beliefs.
Ethics are philosophical. Morals are part of religious systems.
