    What Saint Benedict Could Have Done as a Lawyer to Robert Garrow

    If Saint Benedict would have been Robert Garrow’s lawyer, Saint Benedict would

    most likely keep Robert Garrow’s confession to himself. The Rule of Benedict speaks of a

    way of life, written in order to hasten the perfection of life. If we are to dissect each rule,

    we will see how Saint Benedict will most likely approach this case.

    Starting with the Prologue of the Rule of Benedict, it speaks of renouncing one’s

    own will in order to do the battle under the Lord Christ, the true King. Saint Benedict

    recognize that this is not about him, nor about Robert Garrow. This is about seeking the

    justice that everybody deserves. Thus, Saint Benedict will most likely keep Robert

    Garrow’s confession, as protected under the lawyer-client priviledge communication. It is

    no longer about doing what his conscience tells him to do, but doing what his lawyer’s

    sworn duty oblige him to do.

    In Chapter six (6), the Rule of Benedict speaks of the Spirit of Silence. The Spirit

    of Silence is so important that permission to speak is rarely granted. Saint Benedict took it

    into his heart, that death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Thus, as a

    lawyer, Saint Benedict would most likely keep his silence. Saint Benedict would recognize

    that in speaking of what Robert Garrow had told him, it would be a sin and injustice to this

    man, whom God may have given to him for his shelter and protection.

    Furthermore in Chapter 73, on the fact that the full observance of justice

    is not established in the rule, the Rule of Benedict recognizes that no perfect justice can be

    written under a set of code. But what can be established are minimum rules which are

    written as guidelines and under God's protection that we may attain to the loftier heights of

    doctrine, virtue, and justice. The lawyer-client privilege communication is not absolute.

    However, this is one of the grounds in which due process established.
