Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11639)
The correct answer choice is (A)
This is an expansion question, requiring us to choose the statement which most appropriately follows the last sentence of the passage. We should note that the author concluded the passage asserting that belief in the client’s innocence is part of providing the best defense, and that lawyers should be advocates for the rights of the defendant given the facts of the case. Correct answer choice (A) provides an appropriate addition to the passage, continuing the theme of the lawyer’s proper role, which requires honesty. None of the other choices represent the author’s perspective: the author does not believe that the practice of law is morally dubious (answer choice (B)), nor does the author assert that the rights of the defendant vary(answer choice (C)). Further, the author makes no mention of a third obligation of lawyers’ duty to themselves (answer choice D)) or reference to defense attorney interrogations (answer choice (E)).
