When we get a glimpse of the law in California, it's nothing but lies and misleading the jury by any means possible. Can we all say, "OJ" and Johnnie Cochrane??? At least it's reassuring that you and others actually do (and did) practice ethically and with honesty.

But even so, I've always known it was an honorable and noble profession...........just abused by some who took the oath. But then, lots of other professions have oaths that are abused or not honored by the "swearers," as well. I've worked in several offices that had legal departments and, for the most part, I believe the attorneys I knew were forthright, honorable, and serious about what they did. One thing I know for sure..........if I need a lawyer, I want you on my side!! :) The wording of the oath doesn’t coincide with what the overall view of lawyering is!
