A total of 115 lawyers were formally enrolled as Advocates of the High Court yesterday during a ceremony marked by reflections on professional responsibility, ethical conduct, and the critical role advocates play in the administration of justice.

The enrolment ceremony, held at the High Court in Kampala, was presided over by HW Beatrice Stella Atingu, Registrar Special Duties, who represented the Chief Registrar, HW Agnes Alum. The event was attended by representatives of the Judiciary, the Uganda Law Society, the Law Council, family members, and friends of the newly enrolled advocates.

Delivering remarks on behalf of the Chief Registrar, HW Atingu described the occasion as a significant milestone in the lives of the new advocates and a testament of their hard work, perseverance, and God’s grace.

She congratulated the advocates upon joining the learned profession and reminded them that while the legal profession commands prestige, influence, and respect, it also demands discipline, sacrifice, integrity, and unwavering commitment to justice.
“The legal profession is not merely a source of livelihood. It is a calling that requires service to clients, the courts, and society at large,” she said.

Citing Article 126(2) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, HW Atingu emphasized that advocates have a duty to assist courts in administering justice fairly, efficiently, and without undue regard to technicalities.

She urged the newly enrolled advocates to cultivate a culture of continuous learning and thorough preparation, noting that only diligent and well-read practitioners would thrive in the profession.

The Registrar further cautioned the advocates against placing client interests above the broader interests of justice.

“Never allow a client’s interests to override the cause of justice. Where a conflict arises, let integrity prevail, even if it means declining a brief,” she advised.

Drawing a vivid analogy, HW Atingu described an advocate as a “high priest in the temple of justice,” whose conduct must at all times be guided by truth, fairness, courage, and professional ethics.

She also encouraged the advocates to contribute to societal transformation through pro bono legal services, community engagement, and efforts aimed at expanding access to justice, particularly for vulnerable members of society.

“Good legal practice is not about the end justifying the means, but about ensuring ethical standards guide every process,” she said.

Representing the Secretary of the Law Council, Ms. Patience Biira Mutooro congratulated the advocates on their admission to the Bar and reminded them that while the Law Council is responsible for admitting legal practitioners, it is equally mandated to safeguard discipline and professional standards within the profession.

She warned against greed and unethical conduct, urging the new advocates to embrace honesty and restraint in their practice.
“Take only what is yours, and not more,” she advised, emphasizing that integrity remains the most valuable asset a lawyer can possess.

Ms. Mutooro further encouraged the advocates to maintain professionalism in their appearance, communication, and interactions with clients, colleagues, judicial officers, and the public. She also urged them to remain humble and open to correction throughout their professional journey.

The Vice President of the Uganda Law Society, Mr. Anthony Asiimwe, challenged the advocates to view themselves as trustees of justice and active participants in shaping the future of the legal profession.

He encouraged them to embrace Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), adapt to digital transformation within the justice sector, and align themselves with ongoing reforms being implemented by the Judiciary

The Honourable Courts receive suspects who have been missing for weeks and they do a judicious role of further remand.

The many disqualifications of nominated candidates by the Electoral Commission has importantly asserted the indispensable value of lawyers in the country. You need one right from the day you hatch the dream to contest till the day you’re announced victor or loser!
