lawyers serve clients and a system; they aren't paid to give a shit about the truth (or justice for that matter), and most don't.

- dogma1138 10y agoThis isn't about the truth this is about representing the interests of your client, if you as a lawyer are serving your own interests for example by not advising them very strongly to take a settlement knowing that they are most likely going to lose in court just because your cut form the proposed settlement isn't enough in you taste you have committed a gross violation of the codes of ethics of the legal bar, you can be disbarred for it, and are liable to be sued for legal malpractice. "Truth and Justice" do not exist out of context, these are meaningless terms even with applied arbitrarily to the legal system.
