Our Constitution reflects the same principle when it exhorts the state to «promote the welfare of the people by
securing and protecting as effectively as it may a
social order in which
justice,
social,
economic and political, shall inform all the institutions of national life».
[A] ll lawyers should devote professional time
and resources
and use civic influence to ensure equal access to our system of
justice for all those who because of
economic or
social barriers can not afford or
secure adequate legal counsel.
