It took me a second to adjust my frame of reference from schools to careers. For a second, I was like, why does OP have such a strong reaction to physical education? 😂

The one person I know who majored in “Advertising” in college was more than willing to lie and cheat in her personal life.

Eh, I know this is their spiel for why they do it, but going to trial and re-traumatizing victims in violent crimes and sexual assaults during cross-examination when you know your client did it and should cop a plea is never going to earn any respect from me.


The client is the one that gets to choose whether to accept a plea or not. You can't provide a subpar defense because you think they should have pled out.

In family law you need the good attorneys who are really trying to represent the best interest of kids. I know there aren't many of them, but somebody has to do it.


Someone has to defend the worst cases in order for the system to work, though.

True. I’m going to add private practice psych and therapists to the mix. Most don’t help much but love to keep their clients coming in every week. Cha Ching

Incorrect regarding family law attorneys. Their job is to represent their clients which may or may not be in the best interests of the children. It would be malpractice to put the child's interests before your client's interests.
