No confirmed citationMarch 23, 1929

Study material, not legal advice. Written and checked by the PhilippineLaws team to the best of our knowledge; not reviewed by a lawyer. A digest is a summary — the full decision is the authority, so read it before you cite it.

Don't cite this from here. The docket on file (G.R. No. 32329) could not be matched to any decision in the library, so it is not shown as a citation above. The case may well be real — find the reported citation before you use it.

Prohibition on Solicitation and Advertising

Why it matters

Reaffirmed that law is a learned profession, not a business or trade. Aggressive solicitation of clients, touting, and advertising legal services are strictly prohibited as they degrade the dignity of the profession and promote the commercialization of justice.

Digest

No digest has been checked for this case yet. A draft is never shown — read the ruling itself, or write your own digest in the reader.
