What does it mean to be an honest lawyer? To unravel this, is to come a step closer to understanding the role lawyers’ play.

Before the 1960 election, making use of petty, quasi-illegal dirty tricks was a means of victory for Nixon – he had scarcely lost an election before then and was seen as a powerful, young, up-and-coming politician. However, following the losses to Kennedy and Brown, Nixon’s use...
