I was going to start arguing that solicitors can't lie for their clients
and can't represent them if the client admits guilt, but I would have to start the sentence with "any honest solicitor" and knew I would get shot down immediately.

True dat
And thankfully no solicitor has ever asked us to lie in our reports, but we have been asked if we can draw some shaky conclusions from the evidence. They do this a lot, barristers too. If I say that there's a chance, an exceedingly remote chance, that X happened, there'll push that as hard into the Jury's mind as they can.

It's all about exploiting grey areas
any solicitor or barrister who asks you to lie is a dickhead
