There may be a MISCONCEPTION by many on how a Democratic system of Justice works.
Lawyers are not right OR decides the outcome of a verdict. It is the presiding Judge, who will base his/her verdict UPON the Constitution, facts, irrefutable evidences, his/her journey in life studying PhD Law as well as his/her career experiences, who DECIDES on the outcome of a trial, on who is right or wrong.
In Court, where there is a plaintiff, there will be a defendant. In Democratic Singapore, each is entitled to Legal Representation.
No lawyer will turn down cases, as it's how they will have to earn a living to survive, even if it is a losing case. Win or lose, they still get their pay. Equally, may no citizen be naive and believe totally what a lawyer may say, as he/she will be good with words to say what one WANTS to hear.
They are honest and professional, regardless if working from an office in 1 Raffles Place, or 29B Jalan Besar, but only up to a certain level, as it WILL BE on precedents, Mitigating factors ( circumstances ) that they hope will change a Judge's mind and win cases. BUT so too the opposing side - plaintiff or defendant. No Lawyer is the same. Some work on classical computer mode, while others work on Quantum Mechanics wavelengths to research on such...
Ultimately, it is the presiding Judge who decides, NOT lawyers, on who is right or wrong.
A daily and evident example is here on SBF-
There are many, so many, whom argue over the top of their heads against and fighting others, for a cause, at times even spouting insane perceptions or beliefs which only sadly proves their mentality levels, but in the end, YOU and the Thousand visitors DAILY on this site, are the JUDGES, to consider carefully what is presented, either to follow, to find out more, or to laugh and ignore,
..each Human has been given the Divine Gift of Free Will and intelligence, thus may each choose wisely...
