You are a representative of the law. It is your duty not only to act according to the highest ethical standards but to make sure that you speak up when others intend to do otherwise. Your highest fidelity is to the law; you serve your clients best by making sure that they understand the duties imposed on them both under the letter and under the spirit of the law.”

Sandra Day O’Connor, “On Being Ethical Lawyers”, Life in the Law, Service & Integrity, 31, 2009
