Is this what you're after?
CORPUS JURIS SECUNDUM
Volume 7 Section 4 ATTORNEY & CLIENT
"His first duty is to the courts and the public, not to the clients and wherever the duties to his client conflict with those he owes as an officer of the court in the administration of justice, the former must yield to the latter."
Volume 7 Section 2
"Clients are also called "wards of the court" in regard to their relationship with their attorney."
"Ward of the court" is defined as being either "an infant" or "an adult of unsound mind."
