The attorney-client relationship and professional honorabilityLa relación abogado-cliente y la honorabilidad profesionalCooper, H. H. A.Professional integritylawyer-client relationshipjusticeconfidentialityprofessional secrecyloyaltyethicshonorabilidad profesionalrelación abogado-clientejusticiaconfidencialidadsecreto profesionallealtadéticaThe author aims to address the question of whether law is an honorable profession by analyzing the relationship between lawyer and client and the moral dilemmas that lawyers may face in the exercise of their profession. In this context, it addresses three difficult scenarios that may arise in the course of a career: (i) Can the lawyer discredit a witness who is telling the truth? (ii) Can the lawyer offer a witness who is lying? (iii) Can the lawyer defend a client whom the lawyer knows is guilty? While recognizing the importance of loyalty and confidentiality between the lawyer and his client, it is emphasized that lawyers are primarily responsible to the law and the judiciary. In this regard, the author notes that lawyers have a duty to their clients, but that duty is subordinate to a higher duty associated with the proper administration of justice, respect for the law, and the truth.El autor pretende responder si la abogacía es una profesión honorable, analizando la relación que existe entre el abogado y su cliente, y los dilemas morales que pueden afrontar los abogados durante el ejercicio de su profesión. En ese contexto, se abordan tres escenarios difíciles que pueden presentarse a lo largo de la carrera: (i) ¿puede el abogado desacreditar a un testigo que dice la verdad?, (ii) ¿puede ofrecer a un testigo que va a mentir?, y (iii) ¿puede defender a un cliente que sabe que es culpable? Aunque se reconoce la importancia de la lealtad y confidencialidad entre el especialista legal y su cliente, se recalca que los abogados se deben principalmente a la ley y a la justicia. En esa medida, el autor manifiesta que los juristas tienen una obligación frente a los clientes; sin embargo, dicha obligación se encuentra atenuada frente a una de mayor jerarquía, la cual está vinculada a la correcta administración de justicia, el respeto a ley y a la verdad.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú1968-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/derechopucp/article/view/1284210.18800/derechopucp.196801.005Derecho PUCP; Núm. 26 (1968); 47-592305-25460251-3420reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/derechopucp/article/view/12842/13416Derechos de autor 2016 Derecho PUCPhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistaspuc:article/128422023-07-06T22:30:06Z |
