Is being a lawyer a "noble profession"?

    It's good that the laws are complicated and it's good that we live in a country where you can fight for that. Better than China, where you can hire a lawyer, but 95% of people get charged as guilty so it doesn't really matter.

    What exactly do you think is the solution here. And don't say gas the jedis.

    I choose to believe only people who responded that it's at least possible for lawyers to be nobel because reconfirming my beliefs feels good.

    I have a lot of sympathy for the lawyer who still believes in justice. I see law as a field that's increasingly being populated by opportunists, people participating only because it entails some advantage as opposed to a worthwhile endeavor per se. Which, if accurate, is also an accurate description of my own field to the T. I want to believe Atticus still exists in the world, someone convinced that the world is still fundamentally good and all it takes for justice to prevail is the blood and sweat of good men. But then I can't claim to be good, nor to believe that what's right in the world can or will prevail. Maybe the lawyer closer to my own heart is Cicero, sad and doomed yet not quite ready to give up the dream of justice.

    The image of the abused intern is sad but not entirely surprising, everyone has greater or lesser hazing rituals, unfortunately. I guess the mark of a person is the allegiance they own to that flavor of tribalism after standing to benefit from it.

    if justice can only prevail thru the blood and sweat of men, good or otherwise ... then it is no longer a just justice of good reason and logic,

    but of might of men who are mightier and loose fewer then the bunch of men. Justice then ... becomes solely the opinion of these bunch of mighty men of what is just.

    If the lawyer can get me off of or satisfyingly reduce my charges, yes. The noblest.

    Good job. I try to leave little set-ups around here all the time but they usually go unnoticed.
