Excerpt from A Compilation of the General and Public Statutes of the State of Georgia: With the Forms and Precedents Necessary to Their Practical Use, and an Appendix Containing the Naturalization Laws, the Constitutions of the United States and of Georgia, and the Rules of Practice
There is no qualification more indispensable to a Lawyer, than good Moral Character - his Profession teaches, and the public demand this. Mor'al Character is settled by practices - habits, and therefore depends upon the individual himself. If a Lawyer be seen in places where he ought not to be seen, and be known to indulge in practices incompatible with the strictest Morality, he at once drops below the dignity of his Pro fession, and sinks in public esteem. Nor does he meet the full amount of the obligations which are upon him, by abstaining from, vicious and debasing practices alone, he must possess positive traits of character, which are not only unmistakable, but which always, everywhere, leave their impress. He must love justice; be careful to do no wrong; be easily appeased; ready to forgive; generous to the needy; kind to the poor; in a word, high-toned and magnanimous in all his deportment.
