Q: Is representing the government different from representing large corporations?
A: Yes. While a lawyer, particularly a government lawyer, should always give advice based on what he or she concludes the law to be, and litigate to achieve the best possible result for the client, a government lawyer has to be much more aware of the potential public reaction to a proposed course of action than is the case when a lawyer represents a private client.
