PREAMBLE

In order to promote a high level of professional courtesy and enhance and preserve the professional relationships among members of the Evansville Bar Association, the Board of Directors of the Association adopts the following Code of Professional Courtesy. Notwithstanding this Code of Professional Courtesy, an Attorney's first duty is still to the legitimate interests of his/her client. In the event a conflict arises between the Attorney's duty to his/her client and courtesy to a member of the Bar, the duty to the client is still paramount. Moreover, all Attorneys in this State are bound to adhere to the Rules of Professional Conduct. Should there be any conflict between the Rules of Professional Conduct and the Code of Professional Courtesy, the former shall always take precedence.
