Locating and Integrating State Laws and Ethical Codes
By now, you should have located several
current sets of ethical standards used by
various counseling professionals. For this
assignment, reference the ACA Code of
Ethics as well as any standards from
professional organizations specific to your
program (school counseling, mental health
counseling, addictions counseling, or career
counseling). This assignment has three (3) parts.

annotated reference list includes the citation for the document you located (in APA format); then,
a brief description of the resources is included beneath the citation. The description should be
written in your own words, paraphrasing the materials you’ve found (not using any direct quotes
from the materials). Please format your annotated reference list to include the following three
items:
1. Name of the standard.
2. The reference to show the date of the standard and where it can be located (APA format; include the
link if it is located on a web page of a professional organization).
3. A brief description that notes the year these standards were implemented and if you can locate any
information about when the next revision will be published. Also include in this description the process
you will use to stay informed regarding any proposed updates or revisions to these ethical standards.
Part Two
Document the location of the laws regulating the practice of counseling in your state. These will be
the regulations that outline the requirements for becoming licensed/certified in the state, as well
as the laws pertinent to the practice of counseling (such as requirements for continuing education,
mandated reporting laws, and so on).
Do not use Counselor-License.com. The laws regulating the practice of counseling in your state can be found on your state
counseling board website, or through your state counseling association. School counselors should check with the state
board of education. There are also helpful resources found on the Capella Licensure Tool on iGuide.
•In your own words: Describe where you found these laws and include the link to the Web site.
•How are notices about new laws and regulations in your state made available to practicing counselors? For example, some
states allow counselors to sign up for email notices of new legislation; or it is published in the state counseling
journals/newsletters. Do some research to find out how this information is provided in your own state and provide a brief
description of how you will stay informed about new laws and pending legislation made available to counselors in your state.
Include the full references to publications or links to Web sites where this information is provided.
Part Three
Use the presentation Locating and Integrating State Laws and Ethical Codes in this unit’s study (located in
the assignment resources) to apply your knowledge of laws and ethical codes to particular issues:
Select three (3) issues from the presentation that may arise in the type of setting in which you will be
working and for each selected issue, complete the following:
•Determine whether your response to the situation would be guided by an ethical standard, a state law, or both, for each issue.
•Identify at least 2 specific state laws and 2 specific ethical standards that are relevant to each issue. In other words, list the code
number for the applicable laws and the ethical standards. For example, if the case involves supervision of a counselor, I might
reference the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 4757-17-01 “Counseling supervision”, and the ACA (2014) code F.2.a. “Supervisor
Preparation”.
•Write a description of why these laws/standards are applicable in this case, considering how the specific laws and codes inform
responsible counseling practice.
•What are the specific decisions, actions, and/or steps you would take in order to behave in a legal, ethical, and professional
manner?
