I also believe that (at least in some states), this assertion is inaccurate: > It’s true, a client can show me where they buried their dozen murder victims and I wouldn’t be allowed to tell a soul, even if an innocent person is sitting in prison for their crimes. At least in Alabama (for no specific reason other than it was the first hit I found): > RULE 3.3: CANDOR TOWARDS THE TRIBUNAL > (a) A lawyer shall not knowingly: > (2) fail to disclose a material fact to a tribunal when disclosure is necessary to avoid assisting a criminal or fraudulent act by the client Seems to me that knowing that your client is materially guilty and an innocent person has been convicted for their crimes is "assisting a criminal or fraudulent act" by your client.
