You have asked me to summarize the Supreme Court of Canada decision in Doré v Barreau du Québec, 2012 SCC 12, SCR 395 and analyze whether the Law society is likely to sanction Evan Frank. Although the Rules of Professional Conduct place limitations on certain conduct to ensure professionalism, the expressive rights of lawyers must be given due respect and the likelihood of Mr. Frank’s sanction will depend on a fair balance of “expressive value” of the content in the letter, with the public’s expectation of professionalism.

Legal Aid and Advice Act 1949 was the beginning of legal aid, this is the access to assistance to fight for justice for the ones that cannot afford legal representation and in need of protection.

Since implementation the Act has simplified and improved the regulation of legal service provision in England and Wales and has created a framework for legal services to be provided. The regulatory objectives and professional principles are set out in section 1 of the Act.

The main argument introduced in the debate considers whether a practicing solicitor can adhere to the traditional values of moral and ethical integrity that have been reinforced through a set of principles such as the Solicitors Regulation Authority Code of Conduct (SRA). The latter consists of ten mandatory principles that are the professional requirements expected of any solicitor. Traditionally, ethical and moral truthfulness have formed the basis of a competent lawyer and thus when adhering to the traditional principles placed upon lawyers, a lawyer was thought to abide to moral standards. I will aim to tackle the debate by arguing that the SRA provides a framework that allows lawyers to be good people. Secondly, I will also be discussing a lawyer’s moral responsibility. and that whilst ‘The lawyer is conventionally seen as a professional devoted to his client’s interest and…required, to do some things for that client which he would not do for himself’ his moral responsibility must not violate the SRA Code of conduct. Finally, it is imperative to explore the ethical dilemmas solicitors face when attempting to make their clients’ interests their own.
