The Uganda Law Society (ULS) President and City Lawyer Gimara Francis hosted various Law Society Presidents and Vice Presidents from MAK, IUIU, KIU and UCU yesterday in what was dubbed the first ever Presidential Luncheon at Guangzhou Restaurant in Kololo.
In the meeting the ULS President emphasised work ethics and code of conduct of Lawyers which he said is the first pillar for any upcoming Lawyer.
“A good Lawyer is an Ethical Lawyer. There’s no profession that is trusted as much as the Legal Profession. You don’t have to cheat your clients to be rich. Wait patiently but be good lawyers when you start practice. The legal profession is meant to be a trustworthy one.”
Mr. Gimara also encouraged the students to resort to more peaceful means of conflict resolution for the betterment of Societies (Universities) we live in.
A forum to bring together Presidents from the various Student Law Societies was also discussed. It is meant to be a bigger and more voiced front for Students in various aspects. It will blend through politics and education for their (Students’) Unity. The forum will be to promote rule of law, build unity amongst Law Students and encourage peaceful resolution of conflicts.
