The Rule of Professional Conduct is a set of guidelines that lawyers follow to ensure they serve their clients honestly, competently, and ethically. It emphasizes honesty, confidentiality, avoiding conflicts of interest, and rising to the highest standards of integrity. These rules help maintain trust in the legal system by ensuring lawyers act responsibly, prioritize their clients' best interests within legal boundaries, and uphold the dignity of the profession. Essentially, it’s about lawyers acting ethically to protect clients, the courts, and the integrity of the legal profession.
