Abstract
If one were to do a book on the conscience of a lawyer in this day and age, one might begin by examining and attempting to reconcile the conflict between person and professional that persists within every lawyer. That conflict is not unique to the legal profession; it is a central dilemma of doctors, accountants, businessmen, clergymen, bureaucrats, union leaders, politicians, and workmen. In a broader sense, it is a dilemma of everyone who must be different things to different people while remaining in some sense true to himself-parent, spouse, neighbor, voter, clubmember, and friend. The dilemma is especially pressing on professionals, however, for their vocations by definition involve a high degree of autonomy in the ways they perform their callings
