I want to be a lawyer for a few different but resonable reasons. One being that I want to help society become a better environment to live in, but two being to make sure that the defendents being accussed of commiting a crime is rightfully accussed. Are they guilty or NOT guilty? But I dont want to be just any law yer I want to be a defence attorney. I want to be able to make my clients satisfied with my work performance as well as the human body in society.
