EOC week 2: Lawyers


          To be perfectly honest lawyers to me are a necessity. Yes many people do argue that lawyers are slimy, egotistical, soul selling pains, but they do serve a good purpose. This particular group of people goes to school for years on end and sits through what many of us would consider boring lectures just to learn a multitude of what I would also consider useless information about political crap, just in order to do their jobs.  Lawyers are there to defend everyone from your average joe to your fortune 500 company CEO. Yes some would say that lawyers sell their souls to the devil (and they may, if that’s what you believe in) but other lawyers are there because they want to be that person that helps others and were just to queasy to become someone in a health related position. There are those lawyers out there that do do pro bono cases which means that they do them for free, if they believe that the case is a good one and if it also hits close to home, (in other words they take a very personal interest in it). Yes they are like picking out your needle in a haystack but they do exist. Lawyers do the jobs that some of us would not even consider, they have to lie, cheat, and steal along with a multitude of other things that also includes defending the nations best criminals. Lawyers have to take the step below the steps in order to do their job even if they are morally challenged while doing that job. I believe that in order to be a lawyer you would have to be a strong person. A person that would possibly be challenged by everyone and everything around them but would be okay knowing that this could be a fact.
