Yes, and no.

Lawyers must provide the defendant with a careful, well prepared defense, arguing without passion or prejudice.

A client can tell his lawyer anything in confidence. A client can tell his lawyer that he killed a person and the lawyer cannot disclose this information. I know this seems awful, but we lawyers must defend everybody.

There is one exception though. If a client tells his lawyer that he is planning another crime, the lawyer MUST tell the police to prevent a further criminal act.

Lawyers also cannot lie under oath.
