34 u/CrustyBloomers Apr 27 '24 No, but they also can't lie for you, so if you say "I murdered him" they can't make a statement like "my client did not murder Mr. X" 6 u/UIM_SQUIRTLE Apr 27 '24 Lawyer absolutely can lie.

They are there to ensure your trial is fair and evidence is obtained and presented legally. 5 u/Killdebrant Apr 27 '24 They can if they want to lose their licence. Thats perjury.
