Mouthpiece

Read a random definition: Antitrust Civil Process Act

A quick definition of Mouthpiece:

Mouthpiece is a word that means a lawyer, especially one who defends people who have done bad things. Some people use this word to say that lawyers are not good people because they help bad guys get away with things. It's not a nice word to use for a lawyer.

A more thorough explanation:

Mouthpiece is a slang term for a lawyer, especially a criminal defense lawyer. It means that the lawyer is seen as the spokesperson for their client.

However, the term is not a positive one when applied to lawyers. It suggests that the lawyer lacks integrity and represents criminal clients without caring for justice to be served.

For example, in the case of Rudin v. Dow Jones & Co., the term mouthpiece was used to describe a lawyer as a "puppet, cat's paw, tool, instrument; operative, front, mercenary, servant, hireling, henchman." This calls into question the lawyer's sense of professional responsibility.

In summary, the term mouthpiece is a negative slang term used to describe a lawyer who is seen as lacking integrity and representing criminal clients without caring for justice to be served.

i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
