Lawyer/Liar?

When I first thought of studying law way back about 8 years ago, all i got were discouragements - bad karma, liars, stressful life, the money earned is not worth the energy spent, u will not like it, u'll need to argue everyday... and that led me on a full circle round the world before ending up in square 1 again....

I think those in the legal field are the most misunderstood amongst professions.

Today I saw a mother crying to ask for help for her son. The other day, a wife crying for help. And there have been cases where an entire family cried for help. People all say that lawyers are terrible people. But when their relatives or friends are in serious danger of losing their lives to the noose or freedom to the bars, the only person who is willing to step up for them is a lawyer...
