FAQ

Section 120 of the Evidence Act, 1872 only deals with who may testify as a witness and does not lay down any restriction or restraint on the advocate to be a witness in the case where he is acting as an advocate. A counsel for a party should not be his witness in the same case without retiring from the case as counsel.

California courts have held that an attorney-client relationship can only be created by contract.

Yes, India recognizes the concept of attorney-client privilege, which protects professional communications as well as work product created in anticipation of litigation.

This question arises occasionally. The simple answer is that, generally, a lawyer should not act as both your legal representative and a witness in the same case. This is due to the potential for a conflict of interest and the ethical guidelines that govern legal practice.

Professional Ethics: Most legal ethical codes strongly discourage or outright prohibit lawyers from engaging in romantic relationships with clients during representation. This is to maintain professional boundaries and ensure that the lawyer-client relationship is based solely on the client's legal needs.

Conflict of interest: Romantic involvement can cloud judgment, leading to compromised legal representation or decisions in favor of personal relationships. Confidentiality breaches: Intimate relationships may result in inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information, violating attorney-client privilege.

It is not enough to say “well, we didn't have sexual intercourse” or “we didn't get to know one another in the Biblical sense.” Kissing a client, even if the attorney exercises self-restraint with respect to any further sexual activity, runs afoul of California Rule of Professional Conduct 1.8.
