Typically, in that situation, you hire another lawyer to defend you. |

A smart lawyer would hire another lawyer to defend him. But, there is a saying that 50% of lawyers are below average. I think many in that 50% bracket would probably try to defend themselves. |

There is an old adage that goes something like 'Any lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client'. It would be up to the judgment of the lawyer and the particulars of the case though. |

Even for a lawyer, there are advantages to being defended by another person, rather than oneself.
Sometimes they have another lawyer from their law firm defend them. That one, the do not have to hire a lawyer from another law firm, but they still have someone else defend them. |

Depends on type of case, most lawyers are covered by malpractice insurance, the insurance company will provide lawyers to defend the lawyer. When I have sued lawyers they have had insurance attorneys represent them.
For most other cases, criminal or unrelated to their practice, a lawyer will hire another lawyer, unless it is a small matter or if the lawyer is broke. It would be like a doctor treating themselves. |

I think it would depend on a few things. said lawyers confidence in the case; I'm sure the factor of 'what are they being sued for, versus their area's of expertise', would come into play |
