remind you that this series of articles prompted me to visit and acquaintance with the friendly team of the Bar of Moscow "title."What is the bar, and what legal services are provided by lawyers board, we will look at later, but for now I will continue to write about legal ethics.
Advocate is independent in the performance of professional activities of the principal. its position on the line to protect the client chooses their own lawyer.If the client insists on its position different from the position of a lawyer, and even more so if the client forces the defender to wrongful acts, the lawyer is obliged to give up the protection of the principal, advance warning him about it.
Nor any guarantee to the principal! All versions outcome of the case the lawyer is obliged to explain to the principal.All, even the unfavorable!It is forbidden to give counsel and categorically good prognosis for the client outcome.And most importantly, the lawyer shall refuse to provide legal services to the client, if there is no legal grounds for filing a lawsuit.In short, the lawyer must be honest with the customer, and not in the case of whom do not have the psychological pressure on him.
sense of responsibility and confidentiality. for his erroneous advice lawyer meets no less than a doctor.After all, these tips can be detrimental to the principal.Caution in the statements will relieve you of accusations of incompetence and lack of professionalism.The lawyer is obliged to keep in mind that he was entrusted with privacy, not just stories of the detectives.Therefore, the complex issues recommended to consult with their colleagues, but at the same time, not to mention names.
Guilt client. Criminal lawyer is obliged to believe in the innocence of his client, but to anticipate the emergence of information contradicting the testimony of the principal.If suddenly the client acknowledges his guilt, counsel, in consultation with the client has the right to take a different position.
attorney-client privilege. Immediately it should be noted that the period of secrecy is not limited.In addition to the client, no one can release the lawyer from the obligation to keep it secret.Without the consent of the client's lawyer has the right to use information reported to it by the client to the extent that the lawyer considers reasonably necessary to substantiate its position, in a civil dispute between him and the customer or for his defense of excited against him disciplinary proceedings or criminal proceedings.But I sincerely wish that would be in your work of these misunderstandings were as little as possible.
So thoughtful and honest work with clients and each lawyer and the lawyer of the Moscow Bar Association "Title".
