b. The client
A defense lawyer's primary loyalty is to the client — providing zealous, confidential representation within the bounds of the law. They also owe duties to the court and justice system (candor, not assisting fraud or perjury) and to the public interest, but the lawyer's principal duty of loyalty is to the client.
