The Rules of Professional Conduct, which varies by jurisdiction, generally prohibits a lawyer from advancing an unmeritorious argument in court, except where the lawyer is defending a criminal defendant, who is constitutionally entitled to have the government prove every element of the case against him/her beyond all reasonable doubt.\n\nJust because a case is ultimately a lost cause, does not mean that an attorney cannot make a good faith argument to defend his/her client's interests.\n\nIt is only the plaintiff/petitioner's attorney in a civil action who is ethically not permitted to advance a case where there is no meritorious good faith legal argument.\n\nAnd, as a practical matter, there are very few circumstances where some good faith argument cannot be presented.\n\nUltimately, all cases depend upon their facts, and it is impossible to accurately answer your question without knowing the facts of your particular case. So, if you believe that an attorney has taken an unmeritorious case to court against you, then you should file a complaint with the lawyer disciplinary agency in your jurisdiction, and allow the agency to investigate your claim.

At least you have to integrity to notice hypocrisy and are not afraid to speak how you feel....I applaud you for that.....You separate the two issues, one issue is the legality and the other issue is racism.....You can still manage to recognize there is a human element....Despite the laws....

I think it is usually acceptable to break the law if, by not breaking it, someone would suffer bodily harm or death. Also, if the law is fundamentally designed to discriminate, I think that at the very least some people need to break it in order to be able to argue against it in the Supreme Court, for example when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat.

as the supreme court said - in brown v. board of education - seperate is NOT equal.

First of all, the ACLU would have nothing to do with this case. They generally only take cases involving the government infringing on people's civil liberties.\n\nSecond of all, where's your source for this case? You have a few specific details, so surely you must have some news story or a link of some kind to more information? I have a hard time believing your statement.\n\nThird of all, the answer to your question is "no."

I think you are referring to the Ayers Desegregation case.  It was a very lengthy case (at least twenty years).  Check the archives of Jackson, Miss. newspaper www.clarionledger.com

There are people who stand on both sides of the issue you present---and as a student of law this should come as no real shock to you because I'm sure by now you have gotten the baaic pro / con  standardized overview presentation of the art of the debate--------two sides to every issue----the same applies here---for every person that is somewhat intimidated or feels somewhat subordinate to someone in the craft or a student of it----there is someone else--who for their own reasons feel somewhat angered or hostile toward them---i.e. all the lawyer jokes didn't come from an abiding love and respect universally held------so ---it falls on both sides on the line here councillor  (to be) and --- I rest my case
