The Duties of Solicitor to Client as to Partnership Agreements, Leases,
Settlements, and Wills
By Edward Francis Turner · 1884

I am speaking, remember, of the many cases in which a solicitor
does in fact exercise an important influence in the matter. He may
of course have no option but to carry out instructions which are at
variance with his own personal views; his opinion may be overruled,
 or may not even be asked for: and it is an old saying, available of
course as a rule of conduct only up to the point at which self-respect
makes its appearance, that a client is always right. But, on the other
hand, the solicitor's advice may be, and often is, not only invited but
implicitly followed, and where this is the case I would impress upon
you that zeal for your client's interests should, like everything else,
have limits founded on justice and right feeling, and that your duty
does not, and never can, demand of you that you should voluntarily
outstrip those limits.
