The ultimate defense lawyer

Jamie Spencer had a terrific post analyzing Western Justice's suggested strategy for law students to use on the upcoming ethics portion of the bar exam (the MPRE).  According to Western, you must first analyze the test questions and determine WWJD (What would Jesus do). You then get the correct answer by choosing the opposite course of action: "WWLD" (What would lawyer do).

The original post by Western was entertaining, but it was also a bit of a pot-shot at criminal defense attorneys on "moral" grounds. As Jamie's response points out, Jesus could be considered the most important criminal defense attorney in history:

"This is the basis of Christianity itself. Sinners (i.e. all of us) have an advocate with the Father. Confessing your sins to Jesus and repenting through him – not the Pharisees – that’s the path to eternal salvation.

Jesus is the ultimate defense attorney."

Thanks, Jamie. Now when I tell people that I'm doing God's work, I can back it up with Scripture!
