Time for Truth……………
A lawyer doesn’t push/argue his/her beliefs.
It is his/her job to advocate the best and highest interests of the client. The attorney is the mouthpiece, not the moral compass.
This is why in law school students are trained to write for both plaintiff and defendant (civil trials), or Prosecutor and Defendant (criminal trials).
I don’t believe in the death penalty, but in law school I had to write an appellate brief to uphold a death penalty decision in the trial court level. It’s all part of the education. Would I take such an assignment in private practice? no But it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t know how
