Rather, as has been said, the government wins when justice is done. In that regard, the handbook for trial attorneys states that '[t]he respondent should be aided in obtaining any procedural rights or benefits required by the statute, regulation and controlling
court decision, of the requirements of fairness.'" Handbook for Trial Attorneys 1.3 (1964). See generally Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas Co. v. FERC, 962 F.2d 45, 48 (D.C. Cir. 1992) (finding astonishing that counsel for a federal administrative agency denied that the A.B.A. Code of Professional Responsibility holds government lawyers to a higher standard and has obligations that might sometimes trump the desire to pound an opponent into submission); Reid v. INS, 949 F.2d 287 (9th Cir. 1991)(noting that government counsel has an interest only in the law being observed, not in victory or defeat)." Matter of SMJ, 21 I. & N. Dec. 723, 727 (BIA 1997).
