Approved by FLSC October 15, 2009
The Model Code of Professional Conduct was drafted as a national code for Canadian lawyers, and was approved by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada on October 15, 2009.
The Code sets out statements of principles which outline important expected standards of ethical conduct for lawyers. The Code also assists in defining ethical practice and in identifying what is questionable ethically. The entire Model Code should be considered a reliable and instructive guide that establishes only the minimum standard of professional conduct for lawyers.
