Pennsylvania Code › Title 204 - JUDICIAL SYSTEM GENERAL PROVISIONS › Part V - PROFESSIONAL ETHICS AND CONDUCT › Subpart D - CODE OF CIVILITY › Chapter 99 - CODE OF CIVILITY › Section 99.1 - Preamble

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
The hallmark of an enlightened and effective system of
					 justice is the adherence to standards of professional responsibility and
					 civility. Judges and lawyers must always be mindful of the appearance of
					 justice as well as its dispensation. The following principles are designed to
					 assist judges and lawyers in how to conduct themselves in a manner that
					 preserves the dignity and honor of the judiciary and the legal profession.
					 These principles are intended to encourage lawyers, judges and court personnel
					 to practice civility and decorum and to confirm the legal profession's status
					 as an honorable and respected profession where courtesy and civility are
					 observed as a matter of course.
The conduct of lawyers and judges should be characterized
					 at all times by professional integrity and personal courtesy in the fullest
					 sense of those terms. Integrity and courtesy are indispensable to the practice
					 of law and the orderly administration of justice by our courts. Uncivil or
					 obstructive conduct impedes the fundamental goal of resolving disputes in a
					 rational, peaceful and efficient manner.
The following principles are designed to encourage judges
					 and lawyers to meet their obligations toward each other and the judicial system
					 in general. It is expected that judges and lawyers will make a voluntary and
					 mutual commitment to adhere to these principles. These principles are not
					 intended to supersede or alter existing disciplinary codes or standards of
					 conduct, nor shall they be used as a basis for litigation, lawyer discipline or
					 sanctions.
