How come the lawyer representing the side that lose, isn't charged with aiding and abetting, or contempt of court? In every court case, someone must be wrong, and if lawyers take sides, then one of them must be standing there spouting utter lies. If any of the rest of us lied in court, then we could be found in contempt, or trying to pervert the course of justice. Why are losing lawyers not charged similarly? In fact, they get paid funny money for lying in court.
