Disagree. It's not an 'out' clause by any means, that's a really strange position to take.

A lawyers job is to act in the best interests of their client. That's all.

The system provides the limitations on what can and can't be done.

If you want lawyers to stop acting in the best interests of their clients then that is a monumental change to our entire legal system.

If the system has a problem, fix the system, don't suddenly demand that lawyers stop acting in the best interest of their client and act in the best interest of <someone else> because the unintended consequences of that are almost certainly going to be to the detriment of the poor and powerless.
