Okay, I wouldn't take his case then. You still haven't said what his punishment would be if he lost.
Victor, is there any down side (other than shirking your moral duty) to defending the devil?Your OP lists all the benefits but are there any consequences to taking the money and successfully defending the devil? (ex: divine retribution can take many forms: losing your soul, experiencing a series of personal tragedies that leave you a shell of your former self and unable to enjoy the money, subsequent misfortunes that cost more than the 10million being made and thus leave you in debt, a curse on those you love that heaps sorrow upon them for every joy you experience etc).Would I be safe from retribution/related consequences?

You still haven't said what his punishment would be if he lost.What relevance would that have?Like I said earlier, if the devil's punishment were to be something that would take him out of operation, then the world would be better off if he lost the case. But if his punishment would only be something like a slap on the wrist, then I could do more good by taking his case and donating the money to churches. His potential punishment makes a big difference.

If you defend the devil you automatically win, which would mean you would be promoted to top partner at a firm making $10 million per year. The number of hours you work will be up to you. Thus, you could work only 20 hours a week and still make the same salary. You will get to have any chick/dude you want (that isnt with someone). You will live in a lovely loft at the Upper West Side and bathe with Fiji water and the finest toiletries. You'll wipe your azz with well-quilted 3-ply toilet paper that will leave your hinny smelling like a bushel of whine grapes.Would you do it? State your answer in 500 words or less.500 words or less. Yup.Reasoning - after I win this one case I can drop the devil as my client and keep all the benefits and use them to do a lot of good.

I'm pretty sure that INTENTIONALLY helping the devil get away with a crime qualifies you to go straight to hell son. As soon as you walked out of the courtroom you'd get hit with like 15 bolts of lightning. Jesus would swoop down, take your cash - and your girl - and you'd be left ass-out. So in the end, tis better not to take the case.
