Then comes the biggest decision, to prosecute or to defend. The aim of the legal profession is to seek out the truth and provide justice for everyone who deserves it. The theory most commonly associated with law is the fight system. The strength of the fight system is in the very name of the theory. This is when either side of the case strives to bring attention to evidence that is favorable for their cause. The legal system is based on this principal. Clients approach lawyers in hoping that their case will be won, with whatever it may take. In the O.J. Simpson trial the defense did not mention any of the facts that might have incriminated their client, they were completely discarded as if they didn't happen. In today's society there have been more and more attorneys leaving out facts pertinent to the case, thus representing the job the lawyer was hired to do, whatever it takes . "We obtain the fairest decision when two men argue "unfairly," they bring out evidence and ideas that might not be brought out otherwise, this is lackadaisical inquiry into the case by means of the truth system"(Frank 1) . In my opinion I feel that this fight system is the only efficient path to the truth. It is after the cases have been brought forth, that the judge or the jury are required to decipher fact from fallacy. The lawyers must use their knowledge of the legal system and of the facts to prove their clients innocence. Lawyers are the ones who transform abstract rights into reality. Too many times in America, lawyers have their work cut out for them because the public looks at the man in the defendants chair as a bad guy without any human qualities(Black 12). Attorneys must fight to convince, without a doubt, the jury or the judge to believe their side, and rule in their favor, thus putting the spotlight on how well the attorneys are perform. If the lawyer, hired by the client does not thoroughly present the case, the client most likely will not win.
