Due Date: 26 March 2025
Business Practice and Workplace Ethics
Question 1
The legal profession in South Africa, including attorneys, is regulated by the Legal
Practice Act 28 of 2014. This law sets the rules for how attorneys should conduct
themselves, what qualifications they need, and how they should manage their work and
clients’ money.
Question 2
For a person to be considered "fit and proper" to be a lawyer, they must have the right
character, honesty, and integrity. This means they should behave ethically, follow the
law, and not be involved in dishonest activities. If a lawyer is caught stealing money
from clients, lying in court, or behaving in a way that damages the reputation of the legal
profession, they will not be considered "fit and proper." The main idea is that lawyers
must be trustworthy because they handle important legal matters and clients rely on
them to do the right thing.
