Isn't there a famous movie scene where the murderer approaches a lawyer, who cuts him off and advises him on what a lawyer can do. (Anatomy of a Murder? Jimmy Stewart). He covers the issue of what the lawyer knows, and what he can do in each case. Pretty good writing.

I seem to recall another scene from Rumpole, where the character has taken on a student intern or something. While interviewing the client, the student asks, "But did you do it?" and Rumpole drags him aside and tells him, "Never ask that."
