The two are not synonymous and therefore not comparable.

Laws (legal principles) are codified and agreed to by the legislature (representative of the people) and are necessary to establish good order and calm among society.

Ethics, on the other hand, are viewed and interpreted differently from person to person. Your ethics are quite likely (almost certainly) to be different from my ethics. However, ethics are not enforceable via the law. There are no punishments for violations of "ethics" except where these principles happen to coincide in statutory law.
