Handt his particiapation in this case been mentioned on the day of nomination?

Who cares. Under the rules of professional ethics, an attorney can't turn down a case he or she is otherwise qualified to handle, simply because the attorney disagrees with the client's position.

I'm an attorney and can tell you that you are wrong. Slavery has been abolished, so there is no requirement that I work for anyone against my will. The only exception may be with regard to court-appointed representation. That exception would not apply here.
