Our essential function can be stated simply: to ensure that both sides of a dispute are heard, and that each side can be argued strongly, whatever the nature of the cause, and however popular or unpopular it might be, and without any comeback against the advocate. For we are cogs in the machinery of justice. Vital cogs, but cogs none the less.
