Abstract

This chapter discusses the important role played lawyers in protecting their client's interest even if it means doing acts which others view as immoral and illegal. Lawyers as professionals have important roles to play in society or what is termed as ‘professional role morality’. For lawyers, one of their major roles is to act on behalf of their clients and to place their client's interest above everything else or what is called as the principle of partisanship.
