I'm a lawyer. I go for due process; I go for fairness and equity - these values mean a lot to me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We're lawyers. We present the arguments, and the court sorts out the merits.
For me, being a lawyer means to help those in need.
I've always been driven by the concept of equal justice under the law, but only the rich can pay great sums of money for legal assistance and that puts them at an advantage over the poor.
I'm a lawyer. The right to life is important.
I'm not sure I can say there is a clean line between me as an individual and me as a lawyer.
Everyone wants to be paid well - I know that I certainly do. But there are lots of other satisfactions that we get from our work. To feel needed. To feel accomplishment. To believe that our work matters. Being a lawyer gives you a rare chance to experience that kind of success.
Thus you are just not because you give what is owed, but because you do what is appropriate to you as the highest good.
We educated, privileged lawyers have a professional and moral duty to represent the underrepresented in our society, to ensure that justice exists for all, both legal and economic justice.
I worked my way through the education system and was treated as though I had value.
The law serves of nought else in these days but for to do wrong, for nothing is spread almost but false matters by color of the law for reward, dread and favor and so no remedy is had in the Court of Equity in any way.
