We trust in the adversative court system to bring this truth into the light. In fulfilling their duty to the system, lawyers seem to be liars, but in actuality they are just tools to be used by a client. It is up to the judge or jury to decide which case that those tools have crafted is the truth. The courtroom is the battleground where our civilized society decides what is wrong and what is right. The National Organization for Women, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the American Civil Liberties Union all litigate in order to change society.

Tort lawyers carry out the orders of their clients to recover damages. No matter how great or low the cause, lawyers are carrying out the wishes of segments of our society.

Whether they are representing clients, causes, groups or themselves, lawyers play an integral role in shaping our society.
