Annex B
importance the lawyer's position, and all other like selflaudation. There are existing exceptions under the law on
the rule prohibiting the advertisement of a lawyers
services. However, taking into consideration the nature and
contents of the advertisements for which respondent is
being taken to task, which even includes a quotation of the
fees charged by said respondent corporation for services
rendered, the court found and held that the same definitely
do not and conclusively cannot fall under any of the
exceptions. The respondents defense with the case of
Bates vs. State Bar applies only when there is an exception
to the prohibition against advertisements by lawyers, to
publish a statement of legal fees for an initial consultation
or the availability upon request of a written schedule of fees
or an estimate of the fee to be charged for the specific
services. No such exception is provided for, expressly or
impliedly whether in our former Canons of Professional
Ethics or the present Code of Professional Responsibility.
Besides, even the disciplinary rule in the Bates case
contains a proviso that the exceptions stand therein are
"not applicable in any state unless and until it is
implemented by such authority in that state. The Court
Resolved to RESTRAIN and ENJOIN The Legal Clinic,
Inc., from issuing or causing the publication or
dissemination of any advertisement in any form which is of
the same or similar tenor and purpose as Annexes "A" and
"B" of this petition, and from conducting, directly or
indirectly, any activity, operation or transaction proscribed
by law or the Code of Professional Ethics as indicated
herein.
