Though the consummate judge, Powell dealt with people as they were, not just as clients or employees or adversaries. He listened to all sides; he understood the theoretical as well as the practical; he knew that sometimes how one reached a decision was as important as the decision itself.

A government lawyer's duty, the judges wrote, "is not to defend clients against criminal charges and it is not to protect wrongdoers from public exposure."
