No code or art of rule can be framed which will particularise all the duties of the lawyer in the varying phase of litigation or in all the relations of professional life. The following canons of ethics are adopted by the American Bar association as a geenral guide, yet the enumeration of particular duties should not be construed as a denial of the existence of other equally imperative, though not specifically mentioned: 1. Duties of Lawyers to Courts and Judicial Officers The law enjoins respect for courts and for Judicial officers for the sake of office, and not for tha sake of the Individual wjio for tha time being administers its functions. A bad opinion of the incumbent, however well founded, cannot Justify withholding from him the deference due the office while he is administering it. The proprieties of the Judicial station limit the ahlty of Judges to defend themselves, and In the discharge of their duties, courts and official officers Humid always receive the support and countenance of the bar against unjust criticism and support of popular clamor. 9. The Selection of Judges It ia the duty of the bar to endeavor to prevent political considerations from outweighing Judicial fitness in the selection of judges. It should protest earnestly and actively against the appointment or election of those who are unsuitable for the bench; and It should strive to have elevated thereto only those willing to forego other employments, whether of a business, political or other character, which may embarrass their free and fair discussion of questions before them for decision. The aspiration of lawyers for Judicial positions should be governed by an impartial estimate of their ability to add honor to the office and not by a desire for the distinction the position may bring ip themselves. I. Attempts to ' Exert Personal Influence on the Court Marked attention and unuaual hospitality on the part of a lawyer to a- Judge, uncalled for by the personal relation of the parties, subject both the Judge and the lawyer te misconstructions of motive, and should be avoided. A lawyer should not communicate or argue privately with the Judge as to the merits of a pending cause, and he deserves rebuke and denunciation for any device or attempt to gain from a judge special personal consideration or favor. A Independence In the discharge of professioal duty, without denial or diminution of the courtesy and respect due the Judge's station, ia the only proper foundation for cordial personal and official relations between tha bench and bar. 4. When Counsel for an Indigent Prisoner A lawyer assigned as counsel for an indigent prisoner ought not to ask to be excused for any trivial reason, and ehould always exert his best efforts In his behalf. I. Defending One Whom Advocate Believes to Be Guilty A lawyer may undertake with propriety the defense of a person accused of crime, although he known or believes him guilty, and having undertaken it, he le bound by all fair and honorable means to present aueh defenses as the law of tha land permits, to the end that no person may be deprived of life or liberty but by due process of law. 1 Adverse Influences and Conflicting Interests It is the duty of a lawyer at the time of retainer to disclose to the client all he circumstances of hie relations to the parties, and any Interest in or connection with the controversy, which might Influence the client in the selection of counsel. It is unprofessional to represent conflicting interests In the same suit or transaction, except by express consent of all concerned given after a full disclosure of the facta Within the meaning of this canon, a lawyer represents conflicting interests when, in behalf of oe diet it U his duty to cotend for that which duty to another ellent requires him to oppose. The obligation to represent the client with undivided fidelity and not to divulge his secrets or confidences forbids also the subsequent acceptance of retainers or employment from others In matters adversely affecting any Interest of the client with respect to which confidence has been reposed. 7. Professional Colleagues and Conflicts of Opinion A Client's proffer of and additional counsel assistance should not be regarded as evidence of want of confidence, but the matter should be left to the determination of the client after frank advice from his counsel. A lawyer should decline association as colleague if It is objectionable to the original counsel. If the lawyer first retained Is relieved, another may come Into the case, but efforts, direct or indirect, in any way to encroach upon the business of another lawyer are unprofessloal. When lawyers Jointly associated in a cause cannot agree as to any matter vital to the interest of the client, the conflict of opinion should be frankly stated to him for his final determination as to the course to be pursued. His decision should be accepted unless the nature of the difference makes It impracticable for the lawyer whose Judgment has been overruled to co- - (Continued on Puge I.) oi the Year Begins Monday.
