Judges represent the state while exercising their judicial power on behalf of the nation. In this respect, it is the principle that the judge, who is expected to be independent first to the state and then to the parties, should be bound only by the rules of law. A thinker has said in this direction, "Judges are both masters and slaves of the law". A lawyer, on the other hand, is self-employed, but also serves in the public sector as he/she participates in the distribution of justice. In this respect, the lawyer, as a party representative, protects the rights and interests of his client, while helping the law to be enforced as an organ of the judiciary. In the light of all these duties and obligations, it will be discussed whether it is acceptable for the lawyer to continue the judge's mistake after the judge's wrongful guidance in line with a recent district court decision.
