What's the difference between moral and ethics?

What is the difference between moral and ethics?

The difference between moral and ethics is different to everybody. But for me, moral is what defines a person’s particular behavior. On the other hand, ethics is the set of moral codes that has been established within a society. An individual moral behavior can be based on education, tradition adquire during the years. Ethics are slightly learned the same way as morals, but with the only difference that they are based on logical reasoning among society as a group. For example, the difference between moral and ethics can be illustrated when a crime is committed because a lawyer’s personal moral code is put to the test.  Though the lawyer’s personal moral code likely finds murder immoral and guilty, ethics demand the accused client be defended as deeply as possible, even when the lawyer knows the party is guilty and that a freed defendant would potentially lead to more crime. Ethics regarding legal issues must influence personal morals for a better justice system in which the accused are given a fair trial and the criminal must prove guilt.
