An Attorney's First Duty Is To The Court, Not The Client

We consult the latest Corpus Juris Secundum (C.J.S.) legal encyclopedia, volume 7, section 4 for the answer below:

What is the legal relationship between an attorney and his/her client?

What is a ward of the court?

Do you need to challenge jurisdiction? Better read the following, particularly "...because if pleaded by an attorney....."

When you hire an attorney, you become a ward of the court and a second class citizen and you admit the jurisdiction of the court in the matter at hand. You can't hire an attorney if you want to challenge jurisdiction. If you want to challenge jurisdiction, the only way you can do it is as a "sui juris" and/or "in propria persona".

And then, a little "corporation" talk...

What is your point? The thing about being responsible to the court first instead of the client makes perfect sense. In layman's terms what it is saying is that an attorney may not break the rules of the court or attempt to supersede them by placing the clients needs above the laws of the court.

If there is a conflict such as a client admitting guilt to his defense lawyer, the lawyer is obligated to report that. He is not allowed to put his clients need first and keep it hushed up.
