Can a one be a defense attorney and be a true Christian?

From what I see on these court shows like Law and Order and The Practice, as a defense lawyer you enjoy to do your best to defend your client even if you know he is guilty. I couldn't by good conscience be a defense attorney. What does everyone else meditate?
Answers:
Well the court appointed Jew one 2000 years ago didn't work out so well.
I cogitate you're assuming that Law and Order is real life.

The tenet requires the defendant to be defended. If he has an inadequate defense, the prison term can be overturned at appeal. It's in society's best interest that the person accuse of a crime receives adequate defense.

Defense attorneys try not to know for sure. They can't suborn perjury by allowing the defendant to tale, so he doesn't want to know. He works from the assumption that the person is innocent until proven guilty. If the attorney does find out the defendant is guilty, he'll probably try to get out of defending him.

There are beyond a shadow of a doubt many slime bucket attorneys who work to get the guilty exonerated. They don't own a conscience so it doesn't bother them.
I could never represent a client that I knew was guilty. However, I do realize that such folks do need defense attorneys so I do not judge those who choose to watch over them.
Yes, it is indubitably possible to be a defence lawyer and a Christian. The job of an advocate is to see justice done and to put the best valise for the client. If your client tells you for a fact that he is guilty of the crime and refuse to plead guilty, then you are required by the rules of professional etiquette to withdraw from the valise. If there is any doubt as to his guilt or otherwise, then it is not your charge to judge, but to present your client's case according to your instructions. There are assorted devices you can use in doing this where the luggage lacks credulity: "I am instructed that...", "It is my client's case that....".

You shouldn't be too influenced by what you see on court shows. Real life can be somewhat different.

Remember too that we, sinners that we are, hold our own Advocate before God the Father. How grateful we are for that!
Im a christian and no. Defending someone who's guilty (even if its for work) is unchristian similar to. And so in suing someone instead of talking it out

Everyone has the right to a proper defense whether guilty or not. That is in the US constitution and for honourable reason. I know some defense attorneys who are fine people and work in the ethics of their trade. The prosecution must prove its case beyond a restrained doubt and it is the job of the defense attorney to make sure that happen.

Try being a corporate attorney!
Morality has little place any where on earth on this world, this has been proven again and again.

And the bible really hasn't done any favors for that morality. Keep within mind God said that you need to stone disobedient children, homosexuals, and people who work on Sunday.
If your a defense lawyer and you think your client is guilty, you inevitability to drop the client! I suggest you watch the movie "Devils Advocate" its got Al pachino surrounded by it, its an awesome movie, although its a fiction movie, it may help you out morally!
The defense lawyer's role is to make sure that the defendant's rights are not violated.

Legal courts are not interested in truth; they are interested contained by evidences.
defense attorneys don't want to know if the client in reality committed a crime. The prosecution must prove their case. The defense must counter that argument. Whatever the client tells the defense doesn't really situation except as an alibi.


I think you have it backwards. How could anyone be a well-mannered xtian, and be a prosecutor? Someone who is trying to do harm to someone else? someone trying to judge someone else?
angelic for you , your parents must be proud keep up the good work well-mannered bye
It's like asking whether you can practice celibacy while working as a prostitute.


Yes. They can also be a schyster attorney. It takes all kind.
You could, but you stipulation to judge your client carefully and choose not to safeguard them if you know they're guilty.
Well, same sorta question....could you be a christian and still inlist in the military?
Ok what about being a intermediary that sends people to the gallows,
Or the broad that send;s his troops out knowing some will die
but that's just my view..
The way the court system have been twisted around lately it would be really hard to be a christian and a defense attorney. But in attendance are other areas you could work in. And to the moron ahead of me what in the world does serving within the military have to do with man a christian? There are lots of christians in the military. Stop listening to the democrats when they spew their poison in the region of how horible military personell are
first, i would not take a baggage if i thought the person was guilty. i would not lose the relationship i own with GOD for any one
Well, if you choice to be like your fellow priests in teh confessional that arent allowed to grant up confessions you will be a perfect lying defense attorney.
Sure, as long as your truthful...
I believe so, as long as you keep them separated enough to where on earth you don't let either help yourself to over the majority of your life. Commit to your job and your religious view in equal or appropriate portions. For example, do not let your position sway you to doing something immoral in your religious view to get ahead in a crust. Not all defense lawyers own to do immoral deceiving things to win a case. Just be true to yourself, and get hold of as much information (facts) as you can to back up your arguments, and make sure you can believe what you are truism before you argue it to a judge or jury. And, on small screen, it's for entertainment, so for a good plot they make it more dramatic and they give more lies and deceit. If you do not truly believe the person, next you can pass the case on to another individual. Be true to who you are while you make your arguments and you should be fine. I hope that helped. :)
yes or no
ha i beat u all i get it right!!

I LUVVVVV CRISS ANGEL!! Source(s): me=}
