Working as a lawyer in the Islamic judicial system

The position of a
lawyer in the Islamic judicial system is that he is the deputy or agent of
the one of the two parties who has appointed him to represent him, either
the plaintiff or the defendant. The one who appointed him should be
moderate in seeking his rights and be fair with his opponent. If both
parties adhere to that it will be better for both of them, and that will
help the judge to make a decision in cases of dispute. If the disputant or
his deputy insist on deceiving and going to extremes in their arguments in
order to make gains even if they are haraam, then they are sinning and
consuming people’s wealth unlawfully, and they are causing confusion to
the judge, unless Allaah guides the judge by His grace and mercy and help
them to make the right decision, so that the dispute may be resolved
fairly. 

And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and
companions.
