This is beyond true. I often lose site of why I went to law school. Always looking for ways to answer the question, how can I make the difference that I wanted to make in the system? The reason why I believed law school would help me attain such goal.
Everyone deserves a Lawyer for representation if can't afford a Lawyer,its suppose to be justice for all.Regardless of the ethics background, and majority of clients can't afford a Lawyer.
TBH I feel if the public defender field was more attractive financially more of the talented/skilled/ higher potential law students would go into that. Or if law school was cheaper. I am sort of considering public defense rather then trial though my uncle is a pastor and our church is located in a poor area, I have experience preaching and reaching people there and seeing what people have to live through.... I have a passion to help souls IK I could do that with trial law but I could really reach the poor with PD. THe question though is financially would Public defense support me enough. I do agree with the notion though that people should at least care and do what they can even if they aren't public defenders per say.
What blows me away listening to this now isn't the 2.5 hours per lawyer but the 1 investigator for 4000 cases, that guy must have the most miserable life of any human on the planet.
Pharmacists and real doctors have to be through a program lasting up to 10 years maybe. Some of that training program is given away for free like some kind of guild maybe. You have to support yourself during that time maybe. At the end of that training program you might get a degree maybe. Is law school like that?
Two students to whom I taught mathematics revealed to me that they wanted to be lawyers, and both gave the same explanation: that they were good bull-shitters.
So comments are only allowed if the majority of people support a video? Fantastic! I apologize to Jonathan Rapping, because it is not his fault. But this video gets a dislike for censorship of other videos. It's the best way I can express my dissatisfaction.
So, the public has no defense against criminals anymore if the criminals can hire better lawyers that can actually change the law they get out of jail free card right?
Mr. Rapping is a champion for the voiceless. I applaud him and his heroic public defenders for advocating for every day people. Keep up the good work!
I'm the Chief PD in the Marshall Islands for nearly 20years!
Thanks to everyone involved with Gideon's Promise for the important work you do!
What a powerful message! Thank you Mr. Rapping for fighting against indifference in our criminal justice system.
Bravo to Mr. Rapping! If you want justice for yourself, then there must be justice for all.
We Have To Guard Against Indifference! - respect Jonathan. Respect! Thank you.
thank you, Jon for sharing this message!

We can change the status quo by doing something! Equal justice - the Civil Rights issue of today! Excellent!
I think I might want to become a public defender idk yet

Rich people can get away with murder while the poor goes to jail for procession.

So now we agree on the problem, how do we fix it?
I want to know what happened to Alex, your client who was convicted.
