[quote=Anonymous]My SIL is a public defender. She goes to jail to meet her clients on a regular basis. She uses a shit-ton of moisturizer on her hands, because they're always drying out from using a shit-ton of antibacterial stuff after touching things her clients have touched. Several months ago she was attacked by her client and there was a snafu with the panic button behind the judge's bench so it took security extra time to get into the court room. This is not the first time she's been attacked by her clients. She's been spit on. She's been propositioned and had rape threatened all within the same sentence. She listens to 13 yr old girls claiming they weren't raped and asking if they can still get child support even though their 37 yr old baby daddy is going to jail for having sex with them.

Aside from when she has a trial coming up, she basically works 9-5. Her pay is lower than if she worked in a law firm, but she has awesome benefits. Nobody from work ever contacts her outside of work hours. [/quote]
