Ethics of lawyers

Hello, Greetings of the day!

Professional ethics might be characterized as a set of principles composed or unwritten for controlling the conduct of a rehearsing legal advisor towards himself, his customer, his enemy in law, and towards the court. The primary object of the ethics of the legal profession is to keep up the poise of legal professionalism and the amicable connection between the Bench and Bar. The Courts have observed that an advocate is under a commitment to maintain the standard of law and guarantee that the open equity framework is empowered to work at its maximum capacity. Chief Justice Marshall observed:

“The fundamental aim of Legal Ethics is to maintain the honour and dignity of the Law Profession, to secure a spirit of friendly co-operation between the Bench and the Bar in the promotion of highest standards of justice, to establish honourable and fair dealings of the council with his client opponent and witnesses; to establish a spirit of brotherhood in the Bar itself, and to secure that lawyers discharge their responsibilities to the community generally.”

Hope it helps
