LAWYER’S DUTY TO STATE
DUTY TO UPHOLD THE LAW
Lawyers are an integral part of
the administration of justice in our legal system. They must at all times act
within the law and uphold the law when engaging in their occupation.
A lawyer is said to be a law
officer, therefore, he should abstain from acts which will mislead the State or
go against the State. His duty to the State is superior than the one owed to
his client. Thus, he should assist the State in arriving at what his just and
fair. A lawyer could also be said to be a justice of peace so in his duty to
the State, he should uphold the law always at all occasions.
A lawyer in his duty to the State
should also report anyone, even if the person appears to be a co-lawyer who is
breaching a law.
