In the case Of a hired law-assistance the whole train of his thoughts
pursuits and endeavours lends themselves occupation engages him in the perpetual
endeavour to promote injustice. By that injustice
in that shape in which it stands opposed to the collateral
ends of justice his service personal
and sinister interest is may be served in a more the most immediate
way, and in this case at the expence of his this the client
adverse party as well as that and at that of his client likewise. By injustice in that the shape in which it stands opposed
to the direct ends of justice his self-regarding personal and sinister
interest is served by him in a less immediate though
not less extensively effectual way: and in this case
in conjunction with the self-regarding personal and sinister interest
of his client.

In Only in so far as disrepute in the exercise of this profession it is the effect of
disrepute to lessen diminish the quantity of his professional can

activity in the employing of honest and unexceptionable ones:
and few indeed are the
litigants, how so ever
sincere who seeing as
they think the the party who bring advice
to them is in the wrong party about to gain the
suit by dishonest means,
would not, rather than see the wrong to prevail and feel it prevail at their own expence, be content, under a reasonable prospect of success be content to see him employing in their favour similar dishonest ones.
