This text examines the relationship between law and ethics, highlighting the fundamental distinction between legality and moral correctness. While these domains are distinct, the author argues that what is legal should never contradict morality. Law should ideally be understood as an extension and specification of ethical principles—essentially an application of ethics. The document rejects the notion that whatever is not legally prohibited is automatically morally permissible. Instead, it posits that a strong legal consciousness is necessary, particularly in areas where moral norms remain unclear or unestablished. A central argument is that judges should feel primarily bound by moral obligations. Their judicial process should begin with a moral evaluation, which is subsequently translated into formal legal language. Ultimately, the law is presented not as a separate pragmatic system, but as a refinement of morality, ensuring that legal judgments remain rooted in a deeper ethical framework rather than mere formal compliance.
