    i always wanted to do something that got me out of the office but recently i was thinking of becoming a defense attorney and helping the people that are getting fucked by the law. what i wanna know is is it an exciting job and how much time is actually spent in the courtroom defending people. i know there will be some office time which i dont like but if a good percent is in the courts i could enjoy that. also could i get high as long as i didn't do it before the courtroom. i also want to be a pot friendly lawyer. so if it pans through look me up in jersey.

    i'm a senior in high school

    How many innocent people do you really think you'll be defending?

    of course thats what they tell you in law school. otherwise the legal system wouldn't work.

    but as a defense attorney, just wait till you get your first guy who really did the crime off the hook. i bet you'll feel real great!<sarcasm>

    Let's see, do you like to read tons of textbooks? Reading, reading, reading? Writing tons? Do you adore paperwork? Can you afford the tuition?
    Are you ass-holy enough? lol
    Then this job may be for you!

    I hate to let you (OP) down, but that's pretty much what being a lawyer is like.

    "Defense attorneys distort the facts. They twist evidence. They will not only go to the mat for their clients, they will take that mat and toss it out the window as far as they can. They are not bound by the truth. They are bound to obfuscate it if it serves to get their clients acquitted. And they should be commended for it, and it is what makes the system work." - Jack McCoy

    i really want to be a pot friendly lawyer and defend people who got fucked by corrupt laws.
    but the thought of defending guilty people and screwing over the people they screwed over by letting them off the hook makes me sick.

    Well, 95% of the time, if your client is guilty and there's evidence to prove it, all the defense does is negotiate a plea. They still get punished most of the time, but their sentence has been reduced.
