That's exactly the abolition argument. General statutes on forgery, perjury, and obstruction of justice already apply to everyone lawyers included. A special offense for lawyers creates a unique chilling effect. Defenders argue it discourages vigorous representation, making attorneys afraid to challenge prosecution evidence too aggressively. The reform push says: trust general laws, trust professional discipline, and stop treating defense counsel as uniquely suspect. It's about aligning the law with the adversarial principle that every defendant deserves fearless advocacy.
