Introduction
The Law Society of Ireland issued the 4th edition of the Solicitor’s Guide to Professional Conduct in 2022. The Guide states in its introduction that it is neither a rule book nor a manual and does not have the force of law. However, it is an important source of reference on professional conduct to be used as an information tool to assist solicitors in their decision-making and in considering the many and varied ethical questions that arise in day-to-day practice for every solicitor. The webinar will consider solicitors’ obligations to clients, the court, the public, colleagues and themselves. The solicitor and their relationship with the Court is the primary focus of the webinar.
