[Vision2020] Lawyer's duty

[Donovan Arnold]

Sunil,
 
The problem with this is that it is lawyers that discipline the lawyers. Lawyers that argue if what someone did was ethical or unethical. And of course, there is a trial and all the rules set up lawyers.
 
Other lawyers are not the best judges of their own morality. Shouldn't experts in morality be the ones to decide, or at least a group of impartial jurors?
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan

Roger,

I've already said that.  I've said it's our duty to represent our clients only, and to do it within the rules that apply to us.  That includes the ethical rules.  It's not ethical to use 'any methods.'  A lawyer who does not represent clients within the applicable rules is subject to discipline.

To use any methods to get a client off not justified, particularly if the client is without doubt guilty and may again do harm to society.
