[Avodah] lawyers in Israel

[Goldmeier]

What is the hetter for a frum person to work as a lawyer in Israel?

Where most of the cases in court are lawsuits between Jews, any money 
extracted from a litigant using the secular legal system is taking money 
that halachically does not belong to you (or to your client) and is 
geneiva, lichora. Generally, the amounts of money awarded in secular 
court and beis din will not be the same, with secular court generally 
awarding larger sums of money - if you would not have deserved that 
money halachically it should be assur to take.

That is aside from the ethical issues of defending guilty people, liars, 
and all that. Just on the money issue alone it should be enough to 
prevent frum people from being lawyers...
