Ethics are the minimally accepted standards of conduct in a profession. For lawyers, ethics are determined by state law based on the American Bar Associations Model Rules of Professional Conduct. For paralegals, the professional associations such as NALA (National Association of Legal Assistants) and NFPA (National Federation of Paralegal Associations) require members to conduct themselves in accordance with guidelines of ethical behavior that are very similar to the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct
