Representing criminals is fine, but aiding them in committing future crimes isn’t. If you do that, you’re just part of a criminal conspiracy, and being a lawyer doesn’t give you an exception from moral culpability.
- xwolfi 5y agoDoing their taxes okay, but representing them in court with the goal to free them is the purpose of the justice system...
