Hypocrites. Why do we judge certain people of their certain professions so harshly? Does it start early as children when they hear the jokes or the hostile conversations from other people with their war stories. Or maybe these people think they should be the forgotten hero who jumps in front of the bus or grenade without thought for his own safety. The poor slob and his life that is torn apart crawls into office and the evil Darth Lawyer grabs him by the neck and shakes him for all his worth. Justices was served only because an injustices was done to the poor slob. I haven't meet a person yet that did the job whatever it might be with the sincerity of heart like they were Superman or Batman.
If I'm ever in a situation requiring a lawyer and I don't have the funds (Like everyone I know that's not a millionaire) I hope to find a lawyer that his payment is only just interested in some face time in front of the Supreme Court, I'm all into it. The issue is only about payment and what the payment is, it isn't like anyone does anything for free. Barry A. Schwartz, a criminal defense lawyer in Denver, said of many of the dozen or so lawyers who called him after he had won an appeals court decision on an issue that was likely to reach the Supreme Court. “It’s not because they love your client or believe in the legal principle your case presents. They want to get the case into the Supreme Court.” I don't agree with that statement, does a lawyer that asks for cash up front ant better than a lawyer who want the experience of the Supreme Court.
Case in point: Law firms trying to build or maintain credible Supreme Court practices must show paying clients that they have a consistent presence in the court, and law school clinics have to provide work to the students. Separately and in combination, firms and clinics offer their services free to poor clients in exchange for taking a lead role in the case. That means people with legal troubles but no money can end up with a top-tier lawyer with deep experience before the court. That's what I'm talking about, people need help and now they have a opportunity to have it. The specialists respond to critics by pointing to data showing that their record in the court is quite good. They say their ethical obligations are to the individuals they represent and not to the agendas of interest groups. Ethical obligations are the stanard and the public is served.
