But a political lawyer's job is to defend unpopular principles when emotions are high, and often that occurs with vile clients. My 1A prof., David Goldberg, made his ACLU bones defending the Nazis' right to march in Skokie (where many death camo survivors lived), and I would have been proud to have been on that case. 4A lawyers defend drug dealers, often big bad drug violent thuggish dealers, not the happy candyman Thos. unwisely discussed a few weeks back.
Gotta go now.

I picked Pinochet because it's an instance where there's no question about what he did, he's a very high profile thug, and some people have questioned the legitimacy of his arrest. Legit or not, he's politically odious, and I can't imagine anyone volunteering to defend him except maybe some of my old friends from the Party of the Right.
