Members of the legal fraternity should remember that apart from the duty towards their clients, they performed a public duty as officers of the court in furtherance of the cause of justice, said former Chief Justice of India and former Governor of Kerala P. Sathasivam.
Addressing an event organised by Madurai Bench of Madras High Court Bar Association (MMBA) on the High Court Bench premises here on Friday, he said cooperation between the Bar and the Bench was a fundamental necessity. Advocates should not forget that they were not only fighting the battle for their clients but were also assisting the court in the administration of justice. They should scrupulously abide by the code of conduct, he stressed.
He said the advocates should be thorough with modern technology. During COVID-19, court hearings were conducted in online mode. Though being in court in person was preferable, the advocates should learn to adapt new technology.
