The Seventh Circuit, in Miller, 721 F.3d 435, 440 (7th Cir. 2013), found that the risks associated with mere possession of a short-barreled shotgun are not in the same league as the risks associated with the enumerated crimes.

Counsel cannot legally withhold information pertaining to their client’s case (Model, 1995). They have to inform them of any consequences that they are looking to face as well as keep them informed of the status of their case.

As well, such fidelity is “ethnocentric” “no matter how seemingly faithful, no matter how linguistically correct. The ethical values implicit in such canons are generally professional or institutional, established by agencies and officials, academic specialists…who adopt varying attitudes towards them, from acceptance to ambivalence to interrogation and revision” (The Scandal of Translation 82).
