IX - Relationship Towards Law Students
- An attorney must be aware that law students are younger colleagues and future counsels and will therefore determine his or her attitude towards them accordingly.
- Attorneys shall offer their students the possibility of acquiring legal practice and knowledge and must therefore make an effort to make the practice diverse and the knowledge thorough.
- Legal training must not be carried out along with some other job. A law student shall carry out legal training as a full-time activity and not as a sporadic practice. Any assistance towards fictitious training shall constitute a serious violation of the performance of the legal profession.
- A law student is forbidden to independently carry out legal operations.
- An attorney shall conscientiously supervise the work of his or her law student.
- Attorneys shall pay due attention to making law students familiar with the rules of the attorneys' ethics and this Code.
- A law student shall keep the confidences and privileges of the law office in which he or she works.
- If a conflict arises between an attorney and his or her law student, they must try to solve it alone or with the mediation of competent legal profession bodies.
- If a conflict arises between an attorney and student who does his or her training at another law firm, the attorney should first approach the adverse attorney about mediation in the dispute.
