1. Whether or not Lt.

Kaffee, despite being aware of his clients innocence, inducing the latter to
accept the plea bargain offered by prosecution is professionally ethical.
2. Whether or not Lt. Kaffee attempting to abandon the case after meting his odds as less inclined
to his clients favor is professionally ethical.
3. Whether or not Gallaway incessantly advocating that the case be actually tried in court is
ethically appropriate.

1. No. Resorting to mere plea bargains when you yourself are admissive, or at least, not unaware
of your clients innocence, mow the respect accorded to lawyers, and even degrade, if not
altogether undermine, the integrity of the legal profession.
2. No. It was unethical of Kaffee to prioritize his personal interestshis ego and refusal to accept
loss, driven by his paternal issuesover his clients, even to the point of entertaining a change
of counsel at the expense of his clients. As lawyers, we should not take for granted the trust
clients lay upon our competence to represent them, rather we should take as motivation said
trust to seek better alternatives proving more beneficial to them, even more so when we
ourselves are convinced of their innocence.
3. Yes. Where Gallaway is more seasonedthat is, more professionally maturethan her
teammates, taking it upon herself to encourage her co-counsel to better appreciate their (the
counsels) significance insomuch as upon their shoulders is the difference between the clients
conviction or liberty, is no less than the fervor and passion expected of lawyers in advocating
their clients.
