“He’s doing his duty...”

His duty? How so? Is a defense attorney’s duty to get the client off or to see that the client has a fair trial under the law? If the former, how did that come to be and where does it say so?

His job is to defend his client to the best of his ability. Failure to do so is a violation of an attorney’s oath before the court.
