The practice of law is a privilege bestowed on lawyers who meet high standards of legal proficiency and morality.[20] It is a special privilege burdened with conditions before the legal profession, the courts, their clients and the society such that a lawyer has the duty to comport himself in a manner as to uphold integrity and promote the public's faith in the profession.[21] Consequently, a lawyer must at all times, whether in public or private life, act in a manner beyond reproach especially when dealing with fellow lawyers.[22]

	AC. No. 6332 2012-04-17	IN RE: SUPREME COURT DATED 28 APRIL 2003 IN G.R. NOS. 145817 PER CURIAM
Lawyers shall conduct themselves with courtesy, fairness and candor towards their professional colleagues.[98] They shall not, in their professional dealings, use language that is abusive, offensive or otherwise improper.[99] Lawyers shall use dignified language in their pleadings despite the adversarial nature of our legal system.[100] The use of intemperate language and unkind ascriptions has no place in the dignity of a judicial forum.[101]
