The method used in this research is normative juridical research. The code of ethics of the legal profession plays a very important role for advocates in law enforcement. Ethics is essentially a way of life and guidelines for how people should behave.

For the sake of maintaining the dignity of advocates as a noble or honorable profession (officium nobile) and upholding justice.
