1Opinion of the Court
WILLIAM RAY PRICE, JR., Judge.
It is a fair characterization of the lawyer’s responsibility in our society that he stands “as a shield,” to quote Devlin, J., in defense of right and to ward off wrong. From a profession charged with such responsibilities there must be exacted those qualities of truth-speaking, of a high sense of honor, of granite discretion, of the strictest observance of fiduciary responsibility, that have, throughout the centuries been compen-diously described as “moral character.” Schware v. Bd. Of Bar Exam’rs, 353 U.S. 232, 247, 77 S.Ct. 752, 1 L.Ed.2d 796 (1957)…
