I don't know how this isn't part of being a lawyer:

- Deciding what kind of case law they specialize in

- Deciding where to work

- Deciding how the work should be done

This whole article is about how Harvard is encouraging lawyers to ignore any professional responsibility in favour of monetary compensation.

> So lawyers shouldn't vote? Shouldn't lobby for changes in law?

These are 100%, or close to it, personal decisions.

The other decisions all involve, in some portion, personal views as to what's right and wrong.
