While attorneys have rights under the First Amendment to express political, moral, and religious beliefs and to advocate civil disobedience, attorneys must follow their professional responsibility when acting upon their beliefs and when advising clients. At a minimum, attorneys' performance of their professional duties to clients must not be adversely affected by the attorneys' personal beliefs or exercise of First Amendment rights. In selecting areas of legal practice, types of cases and particular clients, attorneys should be cognizant of the possibility that their moral, social, and religious beliefs, and their exercise of their First Amendment rights, could adversely affect the performance of their duties to clients.
