Professional is derived from the Latin “professus” – meaning to profess one’s vows – and has commonly been associated with the three learned professions of law, medicine and divinity. We continue to profess our vows when we take an oath to defend the laws or our country and to conduct ourselves at all times with dignity, courtesy and integrity as officers of the court.
But what exactly does it mean to practice with professionalism on an everyday basis? Trial attorney Ron Daniels explores this question by delving into the scope & prohibitions of professionalism, analyzing the history of professionalism in the Georgia Bar and highlighting specific examples of professional & unprofessional conduct. Ron will also discuss the principle Georgia case law that addresses Professional conduct, the Georgia Lawyer’s Creed and the Georgia Aspirational Statements on Professionalism. He will conclude by breaking down duties to the client, duties to opposing parties & counsel, duties to the courts, colleagues & the profession.
