The cab rank rule expresses a beautiful idea: that access to the law society's great leveller is for everyone, whoever they are and whatever they are said to have done.The rule remembers that for a lawyer to say I will not act appropriates a role the system gives to judges or juries.And it recognises that if lawyers are tainted by association, the criminal justice system is jeopardised.
