Abstract

The long history of quotations, alluded to in the Introduction (and confirmed in the present-day comments above), decrying the motivation and character of lawyers (see Levy, 1961) has equally long been attributed by lawyers to the nature of their professional role rather than to a just judgement. Not only does the lawyer frequently have to be associated with, and act as defender of, a society’s ‘undesirables’, but. also the lawyer is often a bearer of bad tidings not only, of course, for the other side in the dispute if there be one, but also as often for his own client.
