I'm not talking about what you say to the judge, I'm talking about how you conduct yourself. There is a world of difference between saying or implying that your client is guilty, and going out of your way to insist they are innocent if you don't really believe they are; furthermore, I also said "be disrespectful to the plaintiff"; do you think they are supposed to do that?

In a rape case, if it's clear to everyone involved that the defendant is guilty - and that the plaintiff is going through a great deal of trauma - is it required or acceptable for the defense attorney to say to the plaintiff, "my client is innocent and you are lying"?

So am I. If you as a defense lawyer insinuate to anybody that you believe your client is guilty, you are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including disbarrment. Take it from somebody who has family that are lawyers. The state bar and ethics boards take that very seriously.

Yes, it is. That's exactly what a defense attorney does. That's your job; to discredit the prosecution's case in any way you can, by providing reasonable doubt.
