Norris Darrell emphasized the fact that a lawyer is primarily a citizen yesterday in his talk at Langdell Hall. Darrell was speaking on the "Responsibilities of a Lawyer in Tax Practice," at the first meeting of the Harvard Student Bar Association.
Darrell centered his talk on tax situations where government and individual interests conflict, causing a difficult decision on the part of the lawyer. He stated that in such a situation the lawyer should remember that he is a citizen and must protect the government, no matter what the immediate effect on the client was. He felt that the client would understand and respect the lawyer.
