Shripriya,

Yes, he does. But he does have the dubious distinction of defending those who do not deserve a lawyer with his capabilities in the first place. Should a man of his position not be on the RIGHT side always? What example is he setting for aspiring lawyers?

I agree that to judge Manu without a proper trial would be incorrect. Yet, I cannot find any justification for the direction RJ is taking this case in.

In the beginning we all join the profession with lofty ideals...then it begins to degenerate to a level where our only goal is to beat the other guy irrespective of whether we are on Law's side. Why call ourselves LAWyers then?

What is professional misconduct? I believe it is the abuse of power, even if the power is that of argument and glib misrepresentation of the truth. What is his profession? That of a lawyer. What is his duty as a lawyer? Not to win a case for his client but to ensure that justice is done.

Today a laywer's only goal is to win a case. Is that not professional misconduct of the highest order?
