Funny !
When was the last time you observed real court proceedings and saw a laywer dishonored? Many of them act in bad faith every day.
You ignore historical examples dismissing them with excuses, your references are (essentially) PR speeches and the conservapedia (this thread http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?121000-Conser...! might enlighten other readers, but it is irrelevant to reality in your own planet).
If courts worked as you believe, the SCO/Novell fiasco would not have dragged for the years it has (it's still not dead!).
Yes, honor exists. But you have failed to demonstrate that the course of american society was significantly influenced by the concept of honor.

Lawyers go to great lengths to maintain honor in the courtroom. They learn in law school. It's just become so embedded in the practice that now its inconsequential.
