1. Introduction:

The legal profession has since time immemorial been regarded as a profession of noble, respectable and highly qualified people that are integrity driven. Constantly therefore, the end users and the entire society seek to relate to the members of the profession on the basis that they are not only professionally sound but are also morally upright. A high regard for ethical standards and rules of professional conduct is an absolute necessity for success in the legal profession. The founding fathers create a strategy of progressing professionally on the basis of their good names, accountability and transparency. Indeed, they represent the conscience of the society.

The rules guiding advancement in the profession provides for character reference. The legal profession places a high premium on integrity, honesty, decency, dedication and discipline all over the world. A successful lawyer must always represent the high moral values and discipline which distinguishes lawyers in the society.

The ethical conduct of lawyers is thus one of the driving forces of the profession that cloaks it with its acclaimed nobility and this is encapsulated in the Rules of Professional Conduct.

The nobility of the legal profession lies in the selfless efforts of the legal community to uphold the ideals of the society and the relentless exertions to serve the society. In looking at the future of the legal profession, it behoves on us to firstly appraise our history to properly understand what have been and successfully plot the chart to the future.
