how can someone be unbiased and at the same time be an advocate?

doesn't being someone's advocate make you biased towards them and their position/situation?

if I was spending money to retain legal counsel, I would hope that they WOULD be biased in my favor......but that's just me.

not to mention......that's just what we need - 4500 individuals with legal counsel on retainer looking out for 4500 individuals' vastly differing wants/needs/desires

vs. a unified group bargaining COLLECTIVELY.

but, hey.....as long as I get mine.....right?
