Principles

1. Doctrine of the Adversarial Advocate – The lawyer is not merely a participant but a defender of procedural fairness through principled confrontation.

2. Doctrine of Evidence-Based Advocacy – Truth in the adversarial system arises through disciplined presentation of evidence and rigorous cross-examination.

3. Doctrine of Procedural Integrity – Every legal battle must be fought within the ethical and procedural bounds that preserve justice and human rights.

4. Doctrine of Balanced Power – The adversarial process equalizes the imbalance of power between the state and the individual.

5. Doctrine of Zealous but Ethical Representation – Courageous advocacy must be tempered by duty to the court, to truth, and to the principles of justice.
