RPB Davis in Foreword to Herbstein & Van Winsen The Civil Practice in the High Courts of South Africa (1954): “The nature of this honourable profession is … Barristers (advocates) and attorneys are not hucksters, peddling their wares, or auctioneers, selling them to the highest bidder; for that reason they are not allowed to turn themselves into limited liability companies, or to tout for work; they are not allowed to advertise, and they may not filch each other’s clients. They are as much a part of the court in which they practice as the judges who preside over them. It is an honourable profession, one to which it is an honour to belong.”
