SUSAN CUIZON v. ATTY. RODOLFO MACALINO
PER CURIAM
As an officer of the court, it is a lawyer's duty to uphold the dignity and authority of the court.  The highest form of respect for judicial authority is shown by a lawyer's obedience to court orders and processes.[17] A lawyer who willfully disobeys a court order requiring him to do something may not only be cited and punished for contempt but may also be disciplined as an officer of the court.[18]
