Abstract
Assume a just legal system in a constitutional democracy. Imagine a person wishing to achieve a lawful goal. Imagine a lawyer who agrees to assist her. If the lawyer uses only legal means consonant with the jurisdiction's legal ethics rules, can a coherent theory of moral philosophy nevertheless label the lawyer's conduct immoral? Can a good lawyer be a bad person?'
