	AAA Statements on Ethics - Principles of Professional Responsibility
		Its intent is to clarify professional responsibilities in the chief areas of professional concern to anthropologists.
		The responsibility is not to analyze and report so as to offend no one, but to conduct research in a way consistent with a commitment to honesty, open inquiry, clear communication of sponsorship and research aims, and concern for the welfare and privacy of informants.
		It is the responsibility of anthropologists to maintain the highest professional standards and to decline to participate in or to accept support from organizations that permit misrepresentation of technical competence, excessive costs, or concealed sponsorship of activities.

	Model Code of Professional Responsibility
		Preparation of advertisements and professional articles for lay publications5 and participation in seminars, lectures, and civic programs should be motivated by a desire to educate the public to an awareness of legal needs and to provide information relevant to the selection of the most appropriate counsel rather than to obtain publicity for particular lawyers.
		The essence of the professional judgment of the lawyer is his educated ability to relate the general body and philosophy of law to a specific legal problem of a client; and thus, the public interest will be better served if only lawyers are permitted to act in matters involving professional judgment.
		The professional judgment of a lawyer should be exercised, within the bounds of the law, solely for the benefit of his client and free of compromising influences and loyalties.

	Statement of Professional Responsibility
		The primary purposes of a statement of professional responsibilities are positive, educational and constructive; not negative, disciplinary, and punitive.

	My View of The Relation of Professional Responsibility and Ethics
		Many who take up the topic of professional responsibility maintain that while the moral considerations codified in our common moral framework generally override the special considerations of a professional, there are numerous specifiable occasions where it is appropriate to contend that they are outweighed by professional considerations or interests.
		If these professionals can justify their deviation from what the general moral framework calls for by claiming that the deviations advance one of the fundamental values which that framework serves to foster and protect, their divergence from what is generally required may be deemed legitimate.
		The license granted the professionals to diverge from the moral norm should be granted only where they assume the attendant responsibility of evaluating the acts of their fellow professionals to insure that this license is not abused.

	Society of Financial Service Professionals
		Through its Code of Professional Responsibility, the Society strives to improve the level of ethical behavior among its members by articulating standards that are aspirational in nature, that is, by identifying the lofty, altruistic ideals that define a true profession, and by delineating and enforcing minimum standards of ethical conduct.
		R1.6 In the rendering of professional services to a client, a member has the duty to maintain the type and degree of professional independence that (a) is required of practitioners in the memberâs occupation, or (b) is otherwise in the public interest, given the specific nature of the service being rendered.
		The knowledge and skills held by a professional are of a high level, difficult to attain, and, therefore, not held by the general public.

	CODE OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
		This "Code of Professional Responsibility for Arbitrators of Labor-Management Disputes" supersedes the "Code of Ethics and Procedural Standards for Labor-Management Arbitration," approved in 1951 by a Committee of the American Arbitration Association, by the National Academy of Arbitrators, and by representatives of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
		In 1996, the wording of the Preamble was amended to reflect the intent that the provisions of the Code apply to covered arbitrators who agree to serve as impartial third parties in certain arbitration and related procedures, dealing with the rights and interests of employees in connection with their employment and/or representation by a union.
		The National Academy of Arbitrators will expect its members to be governed in their professional conduct by this Code and stands ready, through its Committee on Professional Responsibility and Grievances, to advise its members as to the Code's interpretation.
