What is the need for the code of legal ethics? The fundamental aim
of legal ethics is to uphold the honour and dignity of the legal sphere,
ensuring the spirit of friendly cooperation, mutual and fair dealing of
counsel with clients, and to secure lawyers’ responsibilities to
society. It’s important that professionals in the legal field conduct
themselves with integrity and provide the best assistance possible to
the court while promoting confidence in the legal system. In carrying
out their duties, professionals in the legal field are required and
expected to deal with other members of the same profession with
courtesy and integrity.
