    Reaction Paper on
    “Dignity and the Legal Profession”
    By Atty. Evangeline S. Sarda

    Our existence as human being is complementary with our


    missions or goals in life. It somehow tells us what we want, what we
    need, and what we aspire of in due period of time. Personally, I do
    believe that those reasons of our existence, being alive, here and
    now are primarily based on that goal. Most probably, the way we
    crave for something that will fulfill our existence could be based on
    palpable experience, external things. In usual and plebeian way of
    life, it is actually true and might be for it manifests giving value by
    fulfilling all the potentialities that we have given by someone’s gift of
    life.

    Good looks, money, material possessions, fame and popularity


    are maybe our external or sentient goals in life. It seems to be
    appearing temporarily in our world but then it may sometimes our
    source of survival. If we are just contented with what we have and
    what we are, it can manifest a realm of mediocrity. It would be
    irrational for us to neglect to become what nature has meant us to
    become. So, be human in nature because we are human beings. We
    want that money and material possessions. Those are the things that
    make us to endure life in the competition for survival. We incline also
    to have or to possess fame and popularity. Are we an approval
    addict? Pleasure seeker? Maybe, we are. But this desire will
    somehow cater to be honored and to gain respect just only in
    different means. Thus, it represents a desire for an increase of one’s
    selfhood. I am not incriminating those individuals who are aiming for
    those things. From my view of point, material things will not actually
    define us; rather dignity defines who we are as a person and it also
    taught us what we should become in order to become fulfilled.

    Some say that dignity is not something that you find within
    everyone; that it is a question of philosophy. Some also say it is
    human nature to be undignified and it must be taught by parents or
    teachers. Others think that we are all born with the knowledge of
    proper behavior, and it is the law which makes some people acts
    undignified.

    I myself believe that dignity is inherent in all of us, that we are


    all born with a common knowledge about how to act around others,
    and we choose whether or not to abide by that sense. We are all born
    with a sense of dignity, and as we grow older our action bring us gain
    or lose to that dignity and what others see within us. In relation to the
    legal profession, Human dignity is a sense of how we respect others
    and how we respect ourselves. If you mistreat people and show no
    respect towards them, they will see you as a person with a low sense
    of dignity. And it is important in the legal profession that lawyers must
    possess and observe dignity towards their clients. If you treat people
    with the respect that they deserved and act with a tasteful manner
    towards them, they will see you as a person with a high sense of
    dignity. Without such behavior, it would be hard to keep a job which
    involves rendering legal services that needs interaction with others,
    and it would be hard to find lifelong clients that would respect you as
    you are and not only as their legal counsel.

    When others see you as someone with high dignity, your legal
    service is more likely to be accepted by the clients. But dignity should
    be reciprocal, if you act respectful towards others, they should treat
    you the same. And lastly, Lawyers must see their clients as their
    equal.

    We are all something, but none of us are everything. Meaning


    that we are all equal, some might have more money than others, and
    some might have more power, but we all fit within one mold of heart,
    brain, and soul. And that is what Dignity in legal profession means.
