This subject is best summarized by the oath, we lawyers (feeling) take upon passing the bar. So what best to quote it so that I shall remember to live my life according to this oath.
LAWYER'S OATH
I, IAN DELA CRUZ ENCARNACION, of CAVITE CITY, do solemnly swear that I will maintain allegiance to the Republic of the Philippines; I will support its Constitution and obey the laws as well as the legal orders of the duly constituted authorities therein; I will do no falsehood, nor consent to the doing of any in court; I will not wittingly or willingly promote or sue any groundless, false or unlawful suit, nor give aid nor consent to the same; I will delay no man for money or malice, and will conduct myself as a lawyer according to the best of my knowledge and discretion with all good fidelity as well to the courts as to my clients; and I impose upon myself this voluntary obligation without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion. So help me God.
