It has always been the lawyers lot to have the public confuse the lawyer with his case. It has been the crowning glory of the lawyer that he continues to represent unpopular causes out of a sense of duty and out of respect for the ethics of his profession. For example. a migrant workers lawsuit charging a county government with poor sanitation conditions is not likely to be greeted with enthusiasm by the local county commissioners. It does not mean that the OEO is attacking sanitation conditions in the county. What OEO does is to provide an impartial lawyer for someonea clientwho wishes to attack these conditions. And the fact that this is possible gives the migrant worker the option of bringing his complaint through the judicial process. Otherwise. he might seek redress in other less orderly ways. The Eisenhower Commission on Violence has emphasized the importance of the legal services program in providing remedies through orderly judicial channels as an alternative to violent methods of complaint.
