Lawyer’s duty under AMLA: Does it violate the duty of confidentiality? | April 11, 2025

One of the duties of a lawyer under Canon II, Section 12 is to immediately inform a court, tribunal, or other government agency of any dishonest, deceitful or misleading conduct related to a matter being handled by said lawyer before such court, tribunal, or other government agency.

The Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability (CPRA) provides that a lawyer shall, at all times, act with propriety and maintain the appearance of propriety in personal and professional dealings, observe honesty, respect and courtesy, and uphold the dignity of legal profession consistent with the highest standards of ethical behavior.

The Supreme Court has reiterated that clients should not be unfairly penalized for their lawyer’s mistakes, especially when it could deny them justice.
