12. That's absolutely correct,
and it's one of the many things most people not in the law don't understand about defense attorneys. They HAVE to do their best under the law to defend their clients, regardless of what they may personally believe.

People think that defense attorneys like their clients and must be "on their side" if they defend them, but that really isn't true. Attorneys don't like their clients a lot of the time, they just are required under the law to do their best in defending them. My former boss and I had plenty of clients we didn't like but we still had to represent, that's the law.

Think about this-if you were unjustly accused of something, you'd want the law to be on your side as far as requiring your attorney to do their absolute best to defend you.
