There are two halves of criminal law.
Negotiating and...
I was going to say fighting but no lawyer ever, was brave.
That's why they picked the ultimate fall back profession.
"Can't think of anything better to do with your pile of slime? Law school!"
The courtroom should be show and tell story time. Best presentation wins.
But charismatic actors don't become lawyers. The most boring people you know become lawyers and they don't think of their job as a chance to be on stage.
A lawyer has one mission in life: "get this over with."
Your case and their 40 year career.
P!gs retired many of them FOMO all the excitement they now miss but they got to chase and shoot people.
The most fun a lawyer has is lunch with other lawyers and in some jurisdictions the judge. Where they discuss how everything is going to go.
So what we the legal help needing public are left with is a bunch of dudes who really couldn't give a fuck about any of it.
