Douglas Mill, director of professional legal practice at Glasgow University school of law, spoke out ahead of a con-ference which will look at ethics in the modern world.
He said: "There is a feeling standards in the professions have never been higher and have never been more rigorously documented or policed and enforced, and yet every time I turn my radio on in the morning, it's one bit of ethical freefall after another –whether it's South Yorkshire police lying to miners or Liverpool fans, or chancellors of exchequer not paying train fares."
