Officers of the Court of course among whom are ALL LAWYERS!
Punishment for LYING to a judge or avoiding or evading can be SUSPENSION or DISBARRMENT!
Now that's the way it is SUPPOSED TO BE IDEALLY.
So if a lawyer KNOWS his/her client is GUILTY he/she is breaking the law saying otherwise.
Isn't that what ALL LAWYERS DO? Lie avoid evade on behalf of a client?
Why aren't they suspended or disbarred?
