| The legal profession is invested with public trust.[17] Its goal is to render public service and secure justice for those who seek its aid.[18] Thus, the practice of law is considered a privilege, not a right, bestowed by the State on those who show that they possess and continue to possess the legal qualifications required for the conferment of such privilege.[19] | |||||
