A lawyer has an obligation to zealously defend the client. The lawyer also has an obligation to truthfully inform the court of relevant case law, including adverse opinions. But then there is nothing to prevent the lawyer from arguing why the decision is either not controlling on the facts, or should be overturned- at which point the lawyer is clear he or she is laying a record for a future appeal.Rumpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380575650255695462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-54281976777389277762009-05-11T14:59:00.000-04:002009-05-11T14:59:00.000-04:00Unfortunately, in this very buidling there is at l...Unfortunately, in this very buidling there is at least one robed one who belives that a lawyer who argues both sides of the same issue on behalf of different clients, is "intellectually dishonest." When an issue is settled and clear, if there IS an argument to be made, should the lawyer make it, knowing that they are probably wrong (but may have a small chance of being right?)? In my case, the issue is unsettled. I can argue both sides unless and until the supremes settle the matter. This judge's position, in my opinion, displays an inherent bias on his part, by expecting defense attorneys to forego an ardent defense of their client, to avoid being labeld disingenious. Prosecuted for an opinion? It happens every day.
