He pointed out that the ultimate thing, whether one was a lawyer, a judge or chief justice, was to serve the people who use the justice system.
Further, the attorney general reminded lawyers that their main duty was to assist the courts through maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, showing utmost respect for the courts and following rules and procedures of the profession.
