Integrity
Let your conscience be your guide in your professional endeavors. Let your Rules of Conduct be your sword and shield against anyone who would ask you to sacrifice your integrity, even “just a little” or “just this once.” When you take the oath on the witness stand, let lawyers and judges alike say: “This expert’s reputation for integrity is unblemished; I trust what they have to say.”
