Norms
A common misconception is that professional oaths are legally binding contracts. In reality, professional oaths primarily serve as ethical guidelines and commitments to uphold certain standards within a profession. While they reflect the values and responsibilities of practitioners, violations typically lead to disciplinary actions by professional organizations rather than legal repercussions. Thus, they emphasize moral accountability rather than enforceable legal obligations.
