  Attorney. No person may practice law in any court of this State who has not
first secured from the Supreme Court a license so to practice; he must be 21
years of age, of good character and must have pursued a course of study in a
reputable law school for at least thirty-six weeks in each of three years, and
in addition must have the equivalent of a high school education. He must pass an
examination under the supervision of the court; except that graduates of the Law
College of the South Dakota University are admitted upon their certificates of
graduation without examination. Residents of other States who have been duly
certified to practice in such States may be admitted by a reciprocal arrangement
with those States. A roll of all attorneys entitled to practice in the State is
kept by the Clerk of the Supreme Court at Pierre. It is a misdemeanor to attempt
to practice without a legal certificate. An attorney must show respect to the
court and to counsel and maintain no action or defense that he does not believe
legal and just, except defenses in criminal actions; he must use only such means
as are consistent with the truth and must never attempt to mislead the judge by
any artifice or false statement; at every peril to himself he should maintain
the confidence and secret of his client; he must abstain from all offensive
personalities; must not encourage any action or proceeding from any motive of
passion or interest and must never reject, for any consideration personal to
himself, the cause of the defenseless or oppressed.
Code, 5253-5282.
