"An advocate, by sacred duty which he owes his client, knows in the discharge of that office but one person in the world, that client and none other. To save the client by all expedient means - to protect that client at all hazards and costs to all others, including himself, is the highest and most unquestioned of his duties; he must not regard the alarm, the suffering, the torment, the destruction which he may bring upon any other. He must go on, reckless of consequences... even if his fate it should unhappily be, to involve his country in confusion for his client's protection."
Henry Brougham
