John Edwards: Champion Of The Poor?
Posted by Pejman Yousefzadeh on Fri Dec 29, 2006 at 12:04:13 AM EST
Stephen Bainbridge takes note of a major chink in the supposedly inspirational Edwards campaign story:
. . . "During his career of allegedly championing the helpless, he took no pro bono cases." This failure is especially noteworthy given that the North Carolina bar's rules of professional responsibility state that "The provision of free legal services to those unable to pay reasonable fees continues to be an obligation of each lawyer ...."
I certainly don't begrudge anyone trying to make a living--least of all, a lawyer. But really, enough with the claims that John Edwards is some sort of last bastion for the indigent. When it really counted, he did nothing to help the very people he claims to stand up for, the people in the lower half of the "Two Americas" Edwards always claims to decry.
