Further, the ethics of the legal profession rightly enjoins every lawyer to act with the highest standards of truthfulness, fair play, and nobility in the course of his practice of law.[45] Stated differently, any member of the legal fraternity should do nothing that would lessen in any degree the confidence of the public in the fidelity, honesty, and integrity of the legal profession.[46]

	AM No. MTJ-00-1318 2004-11-23	NELIA A. ZIGA v. JUDGE RAMON A. AREJOLA TINGA, J,
The ethics of the legal profession enjoins lawyers to act with the highest standards of truthfulness, fair play and nobility in the course of their practice of law. A lawyer may be disciplined or suspended for any misconduct, whether in his professional or private capacity, which shows him wanting in moral character, in honesty, in probity and good demeanor.[37]
	AC. No. 4762 2004-06-28	LINDA VDA. DE ESPINO v. ATTY. PEPITO C. PRESQUITO PUNO, J.
It behooves respondent to remember that a lawyer may be suspended or disbarred for any misconduct, even if it pertains to his private activities, as long as it shows him to be wanting in moral character, honesty, probity or good demeanor. Possession of good moral character is not only a good condition precedent to the practice of law, but a continuing qualification for all members of the bar.[23] A lawyer may be disciplined for any conduct, in his professional or private capacity, that renders him unfit to continue to be an officer of the court. [24] Thus, the Code of Professional Responsibility provides:Rule 1.01 A lawyer shall not engage in unlawful, dishonest, immoral or deceitful conduct.
