Source text
Canons 5 and 7 refer to expression of 'opinion,' confirming the idea that the engineer is called upon for the expression of his judgment
Text references
Canon 24 does not prohibit such public criticism; it only requires that the engineer apply 'due restraint.'
Canon 5 recognizes the expression of opinion on engineering matters in connection with testimony before courts, commissions and other tribunals.
