PER CURIAM |
||||
| The sworn obligation to respect the law and the legal processes under the Lawyer's Oath and the Code of Professional Responsibility is a continuing condition for every lawyer to retain membership in the Legal Profession. To discharge the obligation, every lawyer should not render any service or give advice to any client that would involve defiance of the very laws that he was bound to uphold and obey,[25] for he or she was always bound as an attorney to be law abiding, and thus to uphold the integrity and dignity of the Legal Profession.[26] Verily, he or she must act and comport himself or herself in such a manner that would promote public confidence in the integrity of the Legal Profession.[27] Any lawyer found to violate this obligation forfeits his or her privilege to continue such membership in the legal profession. | |||||
