To force a lawyer on a defendant can only lead him to believe that the law contrives against him.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The power of the lawyer is in the uncertainty of the law.
Lawyers are for only what is right.
The role of the defense is to be an advocate for their client, regardless of whether he did it or not, within the bounds of the law.
A Lawyer will do anything to win a case, sometimes he will even tell the truth.
Today, lawyers are attacking more; they're attacking everything. A good example is the O.J. Simpson case.
Lawyers don't serve everyone... Lawyers right now can say, 'I'm not the person to help you on that issue; I don't agree with what you're trying to do;' and they can turn down that person, and they can go somewhere else.
I think lawyers have a fidelity to the system itself that's always got to be with them, and indeed, most of the defense lawyers I know observe that.
Even a competent lawyer may not be able to mount an adequate defense against the state, with all its resources, if he has next to nothing for investigation and effectively works for starvation wages.
The lawyer's truth is not Truth, but consistency or a consistent expediency.
It's every lawyer's dream to help shape the law, not just react to it.
