As a rule lawyers tend to want to do whatever they can to win.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It has something to do with the facts and the law and who the judges are. So I think lawyers sometimes exaggerate their role in winning and losing. Lawyers do have a role, and a major role, but they're not the only players in this game.
The trouble with law is lawyers.
People do not win people fights. Lawyers do.
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.
You see, some lawyers have the talent, have the charisma, but no discipline. They come into court unprepared, without having done their research.
Lawyers advocate more so than state their own positions.
A Lawyer will do anything to win a case, sometimes he will even tell the truth.
Lawyers are for only what is right.
It's fine to get paid and get a big verdict, but to go out and represent people, sometimes in unglamorous ways, is really what lawyering is all about.
The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every calling, is diligence.
