Abstract

This year, 1996, is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of Professor Monroe Freedman's article, Professional Responsibility of the Criminal Defense Lawyer: The Three Hardest Questions. Professor Freedman's article stimulated an intense debate within the legal profession and in society about the basic tenets of the adversary system. Although the positions advocated by Professor Freedman were criticized by scholars, "the American Bar Association in 1969 adopted a Canon embracing a lawyer's duty of zealous representation to clients." Today, we, as a society, still debate the merits of the adversary model as a basic assumption underlying our legal system.
