Well if i was a defence lawyer person, i'd defend anyone, but im ight not defend as well, for people i knew were quilty

[QUOTE="markop2003"]i'ld defend the celebrity, i'ld do more goood in the future that way and hopefully oout way the evil i'ld already doneFunky_Llama

no i couldn'tas i wouldn't be rated as highly as a lawyer

everyone deserves a defense in court, maybe there's evidence to suggest they didn't kill the kids and kittens. It's not for me to decide but the jury or judge.

Now, the fervor and emotional stake I would put in the case for defending the person would be a different story.

Ok, this is the situation. You just got out of lawyers college/university (w/e you want to call it). You get a job at a company with many other lawyers and your first job defend a celebraty that had murdered 2 children and 5 kittens. Out of this deal the celebraty will give you five-hundred thousand dollars if you win not to mention you will be one of the best lawyers in America. Basically if you win in court you're set for life. If you do not defend the celebraty your company fires you and you end up jobless for the rest of your life.

remeber you just got out of schooling and you need money badly. It's this or nothing.

What do you do?

Edit: I know this is not an accurate representation of how a lawyer gets into a world class case like this. I just want to know if it is against your morals or not.

Not even unethical :evil:Funky_Llama

I will just have to prioritize, moreover if I refuse to defend him he will just hire another guy and might still win. In the end it will me me and my morals rotting in the pit.7guns

The same could be said about an offer concerning an assassination contract. That makes you a hitman if you accept the case, 7guns.

What I meant is that nothing will cahnge if I reject the proposal. I will be the only one who suffers.

But that doesn't mean that I will agree to murder someone.

So you would suffer if you wouldn't be out killing someone? You have a taste for blood, and you cannot deny it.

Not fighting for justice at any cost and being a hitman are two different things.

That's why I could never be a lawyer. A judge, perhaps,but I'd be a hard-ass dealth penalty to everyone, kind of judge.DigitalExile

defence lawayers must defend everyone. if he's guilty then the prosecutor must prove it.

freshgman

I'd defend them no problem as long as I get payed.

Thats the problem I have with all the kids in my year level who want to be lawyers. They all think that they will prosecuting the bad guy, not defending them. And then they say "I just wont defend them". Yeah, good luck :roll:

This man speaks the truth.

If I took the time and trouble to be a defense attorney in the first place, then I'd probably be prepared to defend some scumbags. However, I have absolutely no intention of ever becoming a defense attorney.Theokhoth

Well, just because you're lawyer doesn't mean you're a defense attorney. So this is very very very very far off as far as hypothetical questions go.

Anyways, my answer is no. Because of the 5 kittens.
