Springer on corporate crime

Jerry Springer addressing Northwestern Law graduates:

Springer . . . . warned students they would face ethical dilemmas throughout their lives. "Think of the ethical questions you will have to deal with," he said. "Will you work with a corporate client who perhaps is polluting? Will you walk into a senior partner's office after having been asked to prepare a memorandum in support of this client's case and say, 'I'm sorry, sir or madam, I have to find another place to work?'"

I doubt he asked students whether they would consider representing individuals accused of crimes. Of course I'm talking about politically correct criminals such as rapists, murderers, as distinguished from really bad types like Lay and Skilling.
