Why are you here? April 8, 2008
Posted by Idta in : Criminal Law, MyBooks, Quotes , trackback
One of my co-workers asked me today, “Why are you here?” I told him I want to be a better criminal-defense lawyer.
Tonight I finished reading The Best Defense,
The public sometimes has difficulty distinguishing between the noble [defense attorneys] and the sleazy; the very fact that a defense lawyer represents a guilty client leads some to conclude that the lawyer must be sleazy. Being so regarded is an occupational hazard of all zealous defense attorneys.
The late Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter once commented that he knew of no title “more honorable than that of Professor of the Harvard Law School.” I know of none more honorable than defense attorney.
