Law is profession and not a trade because of the following characteristics of the law profession not normally found in trade:
a. The law profession is characterized by a duty of service, of which the emolument is a by product, and in which one may attain the highest eminence without making such money;
b. It involves a relation as an ‘officer of court’ to the administration of justice involving thorough sincerity, integrity and reliability;
c. It involves a relation to clients in the highest degree of fiduciary;
d. It involves a relation to colleagues at the bar characterized by candor, fairness and unwillingness to resort to current business methods of advertising and encroachment on their practice or dealing with their clients.

An attorney is considered an officer of the court because he directly participates in the administration of justice. Through him, the judicial machinery is set on motion by his filing of cases in court on which the judge is called upon to act. If there are no lawyers, courts cannot operate or dispense justice. His intimate and indispensable relationship to the court makes him a part of the court.
