Role Of Lawyers
By Barney Garcia
The legal system affects nearly every aspect of our society and lawyers assume great importance by constituting the backbone of the system of law interpretation and enforcement. Their responsibility is also very great and they need to follow a strict code of ethics.

They present evidence in court and argue in order to support their client. In the role of the advisor they counsel their clients about their legal rights and obligations. They also suggest particular courses of action to be followed in business and/or personal matters for getting maximum mileage while remaining within legal bounds.
