[The Red Zone]

I recall a quip credited, I believe, to Abraham Lincoln, that "the lawyers are nearest the fire."

It's almost guaranteed to come with the territory. All notion that ethics and morality matter in the eyes of the law are purged out of their minds in law school. It's a matter of how well can you play the game, as if it were a session of Monopoly.

I hear all this nonsense all the time, but lawyers are proxies for their clients, remember that.
