SUMMARY:BIC Showcase: if the client wants it and it’s legal\, what’s the 
 problem?
DESCRIPTION:A debate of fundamental importance to the legal profession is
  emerging about the difference between what some call ‘thick’ and ‘thin’
  interpretations of ‘the rule of law’. The thinner approach to the rule 
 of law limits the responsibility of the lawyer to providing the client w
 ith what the client wants\, provided it’s legal and the lawyer is not ai
 ding or abetting any fraudulent conduct. In the thicker approach to the 
 rule of law the lawyer acts not only as representative of a client\, but
  also considers the public interest in advising the client and in determ
 ining whether to represent the client. The debate puts into play competi
 ng concepts of ESG (environmental social and governance) issues as part 
 of the overall public debate. The ethical obligations of lawyers remain 
 paramount\, but as part of fulfilling those ethical obligations\, lawyer
 s are under pressure at both ends of the thick and thin spectrum.\n\n\nW
 hat are the consequences for legal practitioners if compliance with the 
 wishes of the client\, and with the law\, are no longer the only conside
 rations?\n
