Correct. Lying in court is perfectly fine if you're not sworn. Which
is why they swear witnesses.

Lawyers are already considered sworn officers of the Court, entrusted
with policing and ensuring fair play on Its behalf, and are bound by
that oath and codes of ethical conduct that prevent them from engaging
in trickery, dishonesty, or deceit before the Court. Theoretically,
anyway.

Hilarious. Lawyers are the only people who make a living by lying in
court.

No, they make their living figuring out which bits of the truth work
the best for their client. It is a large and important difference.
