Some say that lawyers acting on behalf of clients may have to do things that would be wrong for either to do on their own behalf. If it would help their clients lawyers must pursue unjust but legal outcomes preserve client confidences even though doing so harms innocent parties and manipulate people.

The essays included in The Ethics of Lawyers include many of the best recent articles on all sides of these debates.
