Advocate professionalism is an essential factor in realizing a fair and integrity-based legal system. As one of the law enforcement officers, advocates are required to perform their profession based on competence, responsibility, integrity, and compliance with legal norms and professional ethics. This study aims to analyze advocate professionalism from the perspectives of Islamic law and the Indonesian Advocate Code of Ethics. The research employs a normative legal research method with a qualitative approach through library research. Data were collected from legislation, the Indonesian Advocate Code of Ethics, books, academic journals, and other relevant literature. The findings indicate that advocate professionalism in Islamic law is grounded in the values of trustworthiness (amanah), honesty (shidq), justice (al-'adalah), and responsibility (mas'uliyyah). Meanwhile, the Indonesian Advocate Code of Ethics serves as a behavioral guideline governing advocates' relationships with clients, fellow advocates, courts, and society. The study also reveals that advocate professionalism faces several challenges, including the increasing complexity of legal issues, professional competition, technological developments, and the declining integrity of some legal practitioners. Therefore, the integration of Islamic legal values and the Indonesian Advocate Code of Ethics is necessary to strengthen advocate professionalism in promoting a fair, ethical, and integrity-based judicial system.
