According to Hall on a lawyer's duty of honesty to herself or himself, "This duty, however,
goes beyond the law. Any lawyer who can lie to himself that what he is doing for a client is
right and just when it really is not will devalue his or her worth to him or herself and become a
mere 'hired gun' for the client. Ultimately, this course has to pervert or dilute the lawyer's
own sense of values" (p. 119). How can this quote be related to our understanding of the
relationship between legality and morality?
Legality is the same thing as morality, and they will never conflict in the daily life of professionals
Legality is the same thing as morality, and the client must fully submit to the decisions made by their
lawyer
Legality is not the same thing as morality, and sometimes morality can add other duties for lawyers
beyond what is required by law
Legality is not the same thing as morality, and lawyers must follow any and all requests made by
competent clients, regardless of their moral values
