We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Do you just become filled with moral depravity in this profession for money? I understand that every accused constitutionally deserves a defense, but what if they confess to you that they truly were a serial child molester. How do you keep your conscience aside while cross examining a victim with ghastly questions with only a view to intimidate them, because it's very clear otherwise that they are the victim to your client's crime. And I see this happening in every case eventually mostly resulting in acquittal as the victim can't just take it anymore.
Okay maybe I understand that these are principles of criminal justice to put a check on the strong state, but what about civil suits. Why does an evil corporation get allowed a law firm defense
You may find some answers to your questions in these two posts:
