That brings up an interesting point about the ethics that attorneys have to follow. (Not an attorney myself but have relatives who are, so someone please correct me if I get a detail or two wrong). Attorneys are supposed to represent their client to the best of their ability, even if what the client wants done is stupid. The attorney can advise and say "Hey listen, filing that lawsuit is dumb and a waste of your time and money, you have zero chance of winning" but if the client says "I don't care, file the lawsuit anyway" then the attorney has to file the suit, even if they know the client has no chance of winning. There are some professional lines that attorneys are not allowed to cross, such as misrepresenting the content of legal cases they cite (lawyers have gotten dinged for doing so accidentally by not double-checking LLM-written documents before filing them, and citing hallucinated cases or misrepresenting the content of real cases that were cited). But as long as they don't cross those lines, attorneys have to do whatever the client asks them to do, even if they know it's stupid. Their job is to represent the client's opinions, not their own.
