Dr Sylvie Delacroix said:
‘In comparison to the well-documented importance of habit in the processes by which we come to acquire the “ethical know-how” that notably shapes our identity as professionals, the no-less important capacity to break free of habit gets far less attention.
Yet living an ethical life demands that we sometimes stand at odds with the usual. This paper calls for renewed attention to be paid to the full spectrum of habits (from `mere’ tics to reflective habits) and the role they play in shaping legal practice.’
