Introduction

It is an act of hubris for me to comment- on Professor Gillers' arguments. However, there are two aspects of his position which I feel compelled to discuss.

The second is whether the challenge of being a "good person" presents the zealous lawyer with a Hobson's Choice: the need to satisfy more than one master.
