Lawyers have their own respect in society. There is an increasing commercialization of work of lawyers as the legal profession is tending to sell its services rather than rendering services. That is why during formative years law students must focus on knowing the basics of law subjects viz . IPC, CPC, Cr.PC and Law of Evidence. The fundamental aim of legal ethics is to uphold the honour and dignity of the legal sphere, ensuring the spirit of friendly cooperation, mutual and fair dealing of counsel with clients, and to secure lawyers’ responsibilities to society. There are some fundamental principles that constitute the essence of legal ethics. These include diligence and dedication, professionalism, uprightness and integrity, personal development, and the impact of technology on professional ethics and the general practice of law.
