Joburg Bar tizzy

Rape and blackmail allegations against two Johannesburg advocates has Bar Council struck dumb.

On the basis of what I have read here I would have no hesitation whatsoever in retaining the services of Advocate Greg Wickens. There wouldn't be any pussyfooting about. He is clearly an advocate who understands his "sacred duty" towards his client.

"An advocate, by the sacred duty which he owes his client, knows in the discharge of that office but one person in the world, that client and none other. To save that client by all expedient means is the highest and most unquestioned of his duties; and he must not regard the alarm, the suffering, the torment, the destruction which he may bring upon any other. Nay, separating even the duties of a patriot from those of an advocate and casting them, if need be, to the wind, he must go on reckless of the consequences, if his fate it should unhappily be, to involve his country in confusion for his client's protection."

- Henry Brougham, Barrister.
