Abstract
Argues that there is no blanket justification for lawyers acting as neutral partisans.
Instead, depending on the particular practice context and all the unique circumstances of
each individual case, lawyers may be justified in refusing to represent particular individuals
or (after moral dialogue) to do everything legal and not prohibited by professional rules for
them.
