    Professional ethics will guide the selection process of an advocate that will

    represent and preserve your rights before a court of law. In essence,


    professional ethics are based on the role of an advocate in the society. In this
    regard, you ought to understand the role of an advocate in the society in order
    to comprehend the extent to which he is obliged to represent you in court.
    Under common law, it has been apparent that an attorney is bestowed various
    roles. The duties include the duty to his client, the duty to the profession, the
    duty to the court and lastly the duty to himself.

    It is, therefore, discernable that lawyers have a responsibility to the society


    which includes everyone regardless of his culture, his religion or societal class.
    A Personal Injury Law Firm shall not discriminate a client based on where
    they come from, and that is an obligation that is set by the basic principles that
    guard the legal profession. An attorney must endeavor to serve the public to
    the best of his ability all time. His roles in the society are numerous, and they
    are listed as follows;

    Preservation of justice

    When an advocate takes up a case, he is mandated to ensure that technicalities


    of the law do not result in a miscarriage of justice. An attorney has a duty to
    use the law in a way that preserves the rule of law and therefore occasioning
    administration of justice and enforcement of rights. The knowledge and skill
    of an advocate should not be held for the sole benefit of a lawyer but should be
    held in trust for the larger community.

    Legislative responsibility
    Attorneys should be at the forefront in ensuring the development and
    maintenance of a responsible legislature that seeks to promote rights and
    liberties. Responsible legislation entails the development of a legal framework
    that protects the freedoms and rights of citizens. Also, advocates should
    ensure that the laws passed are not oppressive or discriminative against the
    society.

    Eradication of poverty, inequality, and


    ignorance

    Lawyers are expected to play a pivotal role in ensuring that the less fortunate
    in the community are aided in advancing their livelihood through the law.
    Some programs could be initiated by attorneys to guarantee equality and
    societal growth. Also, advocates are expected to offer free services to the
    disadvantaged population as a way of promoting human rights.
