In the pursuit of justice, the legal profession demands more than just knowledge of the law; it calls for a deep understanding of ethical principles, integrity, and the ability to navigate complex situations with grace. For public defenders in the United States, this commitment to justice is paramount as they advocate for those who are marginalized, disadvantaged, and in need of a voice within the criminal justice system.

Drawing inspiration from the rich traditions of the samurai code, Bushido, this book explores the application of its timeless principles to the courtroom behavior and etiquette of public defenders. Inazo Nitobe's seminal work, "Bushido: The Soul of Japan," serves as our guide as we examine how public defenders can embrace the virtues of loyalty, rectitude, courage, politeness, honesty, honor, and benevolence in their practice.
