A lawyer should not render any service or advice to any client
no matter how powerful or important is the cause which
will involve disloyalty to the laws of the country which he is
bound to uphold and obey.
The great trust of the lawyer is to be performed within and
without the bounds of the law. The office of attorney does not
permit, much less does it demand of him any client, violation
of law or any manner of fraud or chicanery. He must obey his
own conscience and not that of his client.

A lawyer assigned as counsel for an indigent prisoner
must not ask to be excused for any trivial reason and should
always exert his best efforts in his behalf.
The duty of a
lawyer to accept the cause of the defenseless and the
oppressed empowers the court to require him to render
professional services to any party in a case, if the party is
without means to employ an attorney and the services of a
lawyer are necessary to protect the rights of such party or
secure the ends of justice or to designate him as
counsel de officio for an accused if the latter is unable to
employ a counsel de parte.
