A Nairalanders Letter To Lawyers can An Honest Man Make A Successful Lawyer? by tobechi74: 1:48pm On Jul 28, 2013 |
In my early days, I was asked my dream caeeer, i had immediately replied " lawyer". My dad immediately told me that "all lawyers are liars".that statement immedtately demorolised me. Few years later, my elder cousin came home informing us of his intention to marry a lawyer. He was immediately told to think twice about it. Everyone present began narrating their ordeals with lawyers. i was very young then.i was really brainwashed against doing anything with lawyers. I viewed them as a proffesional liars paid to lie. as i grow older, my belief faded gradually.i now belive that that some honest lawyers truely exist. However, they are few. The multitude liars tend to overshadow them. The legal system is itself corrupt. What then diffrentiaates an honest lawyer from the lying lawyers? The legal system has made it such that the more difficult a case tends to be, the more money u tend to make as a lawyer. The initial belief that lawyers defend the innocent is really fading. Do lawyers still do that? Modern lawyers defend who approaches them, who is ready to foot the bill irrespective of the truth The dishonet lawyers lack conscience. He uses his lying tongue to bend the truth and strech the lies in convincing the court the dishonest lawyer defends the case of a known persistent murderer and sleeps peacefully afterward the dishonest lawyer is ready to call a white spade "black" . he is willing to defend a criminal today and to accuse the innocent the next day. he does little or nothing while charging the client exhorbidant fees.raping the client of thousand and knocking of 2% he hardly advices his client to settle out of court knowing it is of no benefit to him.even if the client has 5% chance of winning the case. He would rather continue delaying the case since he stands to gain from "sitting fee". The irony of it all is that such persons who consider their pocket first before their conscience or the client scale through the legal profession.hardened criminals, curropt goverment officials and rich politician patronise them and pay them . .They win the case even though the entire court know they ought to loose. In most cases, the judge is helpless as he is trained to judge by reason and not by emotions. |
