4 verbatim requirements from 5th Jud. Cir., Fifth Circuit Professionalism Committee — sha256-hashed 2026-07-25.
Fifth Judicial Circuit (Citrus, Hernando, Lake, Marion, Sumter). Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Verbatim from https://www.circuit5.org/programs-services/professionalism-committee/, harvested 2026-07-25; whitespace normalised only. • Do not measure out your professional services on an apothecaries’ scale and say “Only this for so much.” Do not debase yourselves by equating your souls to what they will bring on the market. • Do not be a miser, hoarding your talents and abilities and knowledge, either among yourselves or in your dealings with your clients… Rather be reckless and spendthrift, pouring out your talent to all whom it can be out of service! Throw it away, waste it, and in the spending it will be increased. • Do not keep a watchful eye lest you slip and give away a little bit of what you might have sold. • Certain it is that man must eat; so set what price you must on your service.
Do not measure out your professional services on an apothecaries’ scale and say “Only this for so much.” Do not debase yourselves by equating your souls to what they will bring on the market.
