    Good. Most professions, aside from politics , have fairly strict codes of ethics . In the profession I used to be in you cannot sleep with clients for example. So one time I asked my supervisor if it would be OK if no actual sleeping was involved. LOL. Total joke, I am actually a pretty ethical guy who probably wouldn't need a Cannon of Ethics to begin with. Most of it is basic professionalism and not disgracing your profession.

    Yes, lawyers are governed by the Bar's code of professional responsibility.

    Ambulance chasers are right beside them.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.
