Abstract
This chapter offers the overview of ethical rules pertaining to solicitors. In particular, this paper has been prepared in the context of the central theme of the 1993 Society of Public Teachers of Law (SPTL) conference ‘Professional Responsibility and Teaching Legal Ethics’. It reflects knowledge gained in the employment of the Law Society, but any opinions expressed are personal to the authors. This paper, on the professional rules, codes, and principles affecting solicitors, is largely descriptive and to some extent analytical. However, it is not possible to look at the present rules without being aware of how history has shaped the rules and what present pressures for change exist. The rules, codes and principles of conduct are shown. The objectives and principles of future change are also described.
