FILE - In this Nov. 17, 2009, file photo, Lynne Stewart, center, is surrounded by supporters and reporters in New York after a federal appeals court in New York City said a judge who sentenced Stewart to just over two years in prison should consider a harsher sentence in light of her case's terrorism connection. It can be an uncomfortable life for any defense attorney representing unpopular clients, but lawyers who agree to speak on behalf of people accused of plotting to kill Americans in terrorist attacks walk difficult road. Stewart was an attorney for a blind Egyptian sheik serving life for terrorism convictions until she was arrested on terrorism charges months after 9/11 for letting him communicate with followers.

FILE - In this July 26, 2012, file photo, attorney Anthony Ricco, left, walks with Larry Seabrook, center, a New York City councilman and Seabrook's wife Maria Diaz, as they leave Federal Court in New York during Seabrook's corruption trial. It can be an uncomfortable life for any defense attorney representing unpopular clients, but when Ricco was among a handful of respected defense lawyers summoned to the federal courthouse in Manhattan after Sept. 11, he recalled his mother telling him, in a moment of outrage, "If you go down there to represent them, I will never speak to you again."
