Attorneys are allowed to lie to the jury without adverse repercussion on their clients

Welcome to the real world. You only take an oath when you give testimony or an affadavit.

IIRC, officers of the court are considered to be "under oath" at all times in the courtroom, therefore they aren't explicitly sworn.

But you gotta love a country where the attorney is allowed to lie to the jury--and then people woner why the justice system is hosed.
