[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2224314, member: 1294"] Opinions may vary, is "the court" the Gov't? “An attorney owes his first duty to the court.   He assumed his obligations toward it before he ever had a client.   His oath requires him to be absolutely honest even though his client's interests may seem to require a contrary course.   The [lawyer] cannot serve two masters;  and the one [he has] undertaken to serve primarily is the court.”   In re Integration of Nebraska State Bar Assn. (1937), 133 Neb. 283, 289, 275 N.W. 265, 268. [url]http://caselaw.findlaw.com/oh-supreme-court/1259326.html[/url] The following is also often cited regarding this issue... "His first duty is to the court, not to the client, and wherever the duties he owes to the client conflict with the duties he owes to the court, as an officer of the court in the administration of justice, the former must yield to the latter". Corpus Juris Secundum, Attorney & Client, Sec. 4, pg 802. Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer and certainly don't pretend to be nor give legal advice, I just find it an interesting topic for discussion.
