    Excellent advocate. Shows the need for well-trained and well-funded public defenders.

    The phrase "Justice is a decision" hits a chord with me, precisely because I despise the phrase "life isn't fair" because it is often used as a cop-out or as an excuse for people being unfair. And this is the key. It's not life that's unfair, it's people that are unfair.

      I agree 100%. That phrase is used by people who do things to others simply because they can.

    Used to struggle on how I could remain "good" and be a trial lawyer been looking for answers but this man has given them to me. I was considering employment law cause it's another field that I've always been interested in (although not as much as the law) and also solid pay but yeah.

    This has to be my favorite Ted Talk. I want to be a litigator attorney. With that poem and how much lives he has saved is incredible. Even one is so much.

    I cannot imagine how justice treat their citizens later on when they already realize they had a wrong decision and put one innocent person in prison for a decade. Money or other compensations cannot compensate enough for a part of their life in jail.

    Excellent Attorney! I had the honor and privilege to work with him at DC Superior Court. The Best! DC has the Best Public Defenders Association.

    I think the best part about Ted talks is that the use of vocabulary isn't sophisticated and they speak at a moderate speed making the talk understandable and captivating. It literally helps me to write a good personal statement.

    This moved me deeper than could be expressed. My boyfriend is currently sitting unjustly. I played a role in thay injustice but search for strength every day to help him fight the FAITH to come through this. He has very poor representation through the public defenders office and doesn't have the money for a real attorney. He is battered and but he is not broken. I glue his self worth back together many days. This helped me to see that I need only be brave enough for one more minute. I have hit long periods where I allowed fear of self-implication to paralyze me from doing what is right. Fear of seeing him sentenced to a cage for years for something he did not do is what motivates me to see him find TRUE justice, even though it likely means losing him. This has taught me selflessness. This has taught me humility. This has brought me to God. I will see him Free! Sometimes growth means saying "I was wrong."

    Am i all about justice? (Just in case you would want to know my own point of view of its importance)
    For me, no one's really perfect. But there are people who right their wrong doings and so forth.
    I will never expect everyone to be perfect

    • @van182
      @van182 5 лет назад +1

      lila 123456789 I too don't expect perfection, but I would like to see more fairness; and less arrests, convictions, and sentencing based on skin color and socioeconomic conditions.
