DIANE PHILLIPS: Speaking up and speaking out for justice – even if the victim is someone whose opinions scare the living daylights out of you

IT’S a dilemma lawyers overcome easily, giving their legal best to represent people they do not necessarily like. They take an oath to seek justice for those who seek it even if it feels like the person demanding it does not deserve it. They do what they were trained to do, protect the less likeable or even the guilty, to preserve the process that allows everyone to have confidence in a system that works.
