handle is hein.barjournals/oklbajo1992 and id is 1 raw text is: Oklahoma Bar Association LA WYER'S CREED Adopted By the Board of Governors November 17.1989 I revere the Law, the System, and the Prof ession, and I pledge that in my private and prof essional lif e, and in my deaiings with mem bers of the Bar, I will uphold the dignity and respect of each in my behavior toward others. In all dealings with mem bers of the Bar,I will be guided by a fundamental sense of integrity and fair play. I-will not abuse the System or the Prof ession-by pursuing or opposing discovery through arbitrariness or f or the purpose of harassment or undue delay. I will not seek accommodation f or the rescheduling of any Court setting or dis- covery unless a legitimate need exists. I will not misrepresent conf licts, nor will I ask for accommodation for the purpose of tactical advantage or undue delay. In my dealings with the Court and with counsel, as well as others, my word is my bond. I will readily stipulate to undisputed facts in order to. avoid needless costs or inconvenience for any party. I recognize that my conduct is not governed solely by the Code of Professional Responsibility, but also by standards of fundamental decency and courtesy. Accoriingly, I will endeavor to conduct myself in a manner consistent with the Oklahoma Bar Association Guidelines for Professional Courtesy. I will strive to be punctual in communications with others and in honoring sched- uled appearances, and I recognize that neglect and tardiness are demean- ing to me and to the Profession. If a memberof the Bar makes ajust request for cooperation, orseeks scheduling accommodation, I will, not arbitrarily or unr easonably withhold consent. I recognize that a desire to prevail must be tempered with civility. Rude behav- ior hinders effective advocacy, and, as a member of the Bar, I pledge to ad- here to a high standard of conduct which clients, attorneys, the judicia ry and the public will a dmire and respect. mq
