It is not the lawyer’s responsibility to believe or not to believe - the lawyer is a technician...
Law is an adversarial profession. The other side is out to get your client. Your job is to protect your client and the nonsense they hand out in these ethics courses today - if the young people listen to this kind of nonsense, there isn’t going to be such a thing as an intelligent defense in a civil or criminal case.[18]
A conscience... put out to lease is not conscience but the evasion of it, except for that specious semblance of conscience which may be discerned in one’s blind obedience to the authority that happens to be in command.[19]
