"Lawyers as guardians of justice play a pivotal role in upholding the rights of individuals and ensuring a free and democratic society."
"Fulfillment of the role requires acceptance by lawyers of their duties and obligations within our legal system. And unequivocal obligation of a lawyer is to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct."
"If we lawyers through our own weakness and lack of serious concern, permit a decline in the professional standard which will cause a blight upon the administration of that justice and eventually lead to the rejection by the people for whose benefit it has been established."
