In all dealings with members of the-Bar, I will be guided by a fundamental sense of integrity and fair play. I-will not abuse the System or the Profession by pursuin*g or opposing discovery through. arbitrariness, or f or the purpose of harassment or undue delay.' I will not seek acco mmodation for the'rescheduling of any Court setting or dis-' covery unless a legitimate need exists. I will not misrepresent conflicts, 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. recognize that my conduct is not governed solely by the Code of Professional Responsibility, but also by standards of fundamental decency and courtesy. Accorldingly, 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 amem ber of the Bar makes a just request for oeai, or seeks scheduling accommodation, I will not arbitrarily or unreasonably 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., thejudiciary and the public will admire and respect.
