This scientific article proposes an in-depth analysis of urbanity as a legal and ethical duty of the lawyer, transcending the notion of mere social etiquette to situate it as a fundamental principle of the administration of justice. The research investigates the tension between the necessary combativeness of lawyering and the duty of politeness in procedural relations, in light of the Statute of Advocacy and the OAB (Law No. 8.906/94) and the Code of Ethics and discipline. It discusses the role of OAB Commissions in promoting civility and monitoring conduct that, under the guise of vigorous defense, violates professional dignity and stalls the judicial machinery. The methodology adopted is deductive, based on bibliographic and documentary review, analyzing doctrines on forensic ethics and the psychology of conflict. It is concluded that civility is not a sign of weakness, but of emotional and technical intelligence, being indispensable for social pacification and for the valorization of the legal profession before society.
