Technically...The American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct states that a lawyer “shall not knowingly make a false statement of material fact.”I was serious
But anyone including a lawyer should not perjure themselves under oath, which is why they do not like to be called as witnesses. But on the flipside... There is, however, no rule that requires a lawyer to know what the truth is Their job is to create a case and get witnesses to support the argument. The truth often has no bearing in the case just who can make the best argument. You hear on those courtroom dramas that the defense attorneys do not even want to hear the real story.
So you are sorta correct
