Abstract
Most discussions of lawyer-client decision making concern the difficult question of deciding when a lawyer must (or may) disregard his client's wishes because of conflict with some other significant interest outside the lawyer-client relationship. One of the ideological bases of the adversary system is a strong commitment to client control of decision making, which in theory must be balanced or reconciled with concerns about such control distorting the truthfinding functions of the legal system or causing harm to others. Little discussed until recently has been the fact that, despite this ideology, lawyers in many cases significantly control their clients' decisions and exert broad discretion over the means necessary to implement decisions.
