        abstract = {This paper talks about the importance of ethics in the legal profession, especially in India. Lawyers play a big role in helping people get justice, so they must follow certain rules to stay honest, fair, and responsible. These rules are called professional ethics. The paper explains how legal ethics have changed over time and how the Advocates Act, 1961 gave power to the Bar Council of India (BCI) to make and enforce rules for lawyers. It also explains the main duties of lawyers, such as keeping client information private, being honest, working hard, avoiding conflicts of interest, and helping the poor with free legal services. The BCI also tells lawyers what not to do, like advertising their services, doing business, or taking money in unfair ways. The paper includes real case examples where lawyers broke these rules and were punished. These examples show how serious it is when lawyers behave wrongly. In the end, the paper says that lawyers must always follow these ethical rules to keep the trust of people and protect the legal system.},
