valid points.
my neighbor is a public defender and chronically overworked. all I know is she doesn’t get the low-hanging fruit and profitable cases, she gets to defend those who can’t afford representation - but crucially - only because it’s criminal, not civil. I look at all the cases decided by civil law where people have to seek legal aide because they can’t afford representation and weep.









I don’t think all lawyers are to blame, just like I don’t think all docs are… but I fucking guarantee you, SOME lawyers and some docs are certainly to blame for the problems for both systems because it profits them greatly and they do nothing to stop it.
