Professional Responsibility

Professional Responsibility in the context of legal ethics refers to the obligations and standards that lawyers must adhere to in their practice. This includes duties like maintaining client confidentiality, providing competent representation, avoiding conflicts of interest, and acting with integrity and honesty. Lawyers are expected to uphold the law and serve justice, ensuring that their actions do not compromise the legal system's integrity. When they fail to meet these standards, they may face disciplinary actions, including loss of their license to practice law. Ultimately, it ensures that clients receive fair and ethical legal representation.
