Domingo Soto: Because Freedom Isn't Dumb

DUTY TO DO JUSTICE
The problem is that lawyers' often considerable skills can be harnessed to extraordinarily undemocratic and troubling ends. To be sure, it is sometimes the advocate's job to make weak arguments look strong, and vice-versa. But government lawyers have a different calling. They have a duty to argue what is right, not just what is convenient. Their motto is, 'The government wins when justice is done' - not, 'The government wins when it gets to do whatever it wants.'
