In pharmacy there are laws which must followed, for eg - a pharmacist must be on the premises at all times and oversee all medicines being dispensed and sold. Ethics are the set standards which medical professionals should adhere to. Therefore the law is set to avoid any breach which may result in criminal action being taken, and the ethics are set standards in which the foundation is built. Valerie.

Can you obey the law and still commit an ethical violation?
ethical norm is established by society autonomously, but law is established heteronomously (by other force) by state.
ethical minimum
Ethical values and legal principles are usually closely related, but ethical obligations typically exceed legal duties. In some cases, the law mandates ethical conduct. Examples of the application of law or policy to ethics include employment law, federal regulations, and codes of ethics. Though law often embodies ethical principles, law and ethics are far from co-extensive. The law does not prohibit many acts that would be widely condemned as unethical. And the contrary is true as well. The law also prohibits acts that some groups would perceive as ethical. For example lying or betraying the confidence of a friend is not illegal, but most people would consider it unethical. Yet, speeding is illegal, but many people do not have an ethical conflict with exceeding the speed limit. Law is more than simply codifying ethical norms. Establishing a set of ethical guidelines for detecting, resolving, and forestalling ethical breaches often prevents a company from getting into subsequent legal conflicts. Having demonstrated a more positive approach to the problem may also ensure that punishment for legal violations will be less severe. Federal sentencing guidelines passed in 1991 permit judges to reduce fines and jail time for executives proportionate to the ethical measures a company has taken.

Rule-Based thinking is deciding what to do base on a rule that is believed should be a general principle and always followed. There is never an ethical way to rationalize ruled-based thinking. One reason is that there will never be enough rules to cover everything that anyone recognizes as an ethical situation.
