"What is characteristic of this role of a lawyer is the lawyer's required indifference to a wide variety of ends and consequences that in other contexts would be of undeniable moral significance." (p.60b)

Examples of tasks lawyers do:

• criminal defense
• criminal prosecution
• writing up wills (p.61a)
• writing up sales contracts (p.61a)
• setting up corporations (p.61a)

"... in each case, the role-differentiated character of the lawyer's way of being tends to render irrelevant what would otherwise be morally relevant considerations." (p.61a)
