[QUOTE="trainee4u, post: 213713, member: 30779"] I'd talk about duties to the court and justice, and explain that if they told me that they were lying I'd have to explain that I wouldn't be able to represent them on that basis, and that there are legal duties such as disclosing evidence material to the opponents. I'd also distinguish between legal and ethical standards noting that for example a tobacco company is not necessarily ethical, but is nonetheless legal and that as a lawyer it's not my job to promote a particular set of values but instead to promote the rule of law which means representing my clients to the best of my ability even if I don't necessarily approve of them. I'd probably also say that often our clients will have done things that are wrong, but we are still there to represent them, and this might include for example proposing early settlement in view of wrong doing to reduce costs and also to keep damages awards down.
