Lawyer - "Someone< 3"

I'm currently an analyst for a psychological company as well as the legal diplomat that deals with all the legal things. I want to become a lawyer because I've seen so many good people hurt and harmed with no one to stand up for them, and I myself hate seeing all theses hurt people not getting the justice they deserve. At my work I deal with rape victims the most, and most of the time they never get the much needed help and care that they deserve, and in court they never get the justice that they should.

Lawyer - "lawyers"

Hi everyone how are you all this is my first message so im kinda exited. fist of all im here to give you my forum on lawyers today. lawyers can make outstanding amounts of money a day in a single day a lawyer could make about $2,000 so if you multiply that by a week (7 days) you would have 14,000.Also being a lawyer would add to being intelligent and in order for you to be a lawyer you must be intelligent. last and final reason being a lawyer involes being in front of crowds big and small which gives me the chance to show my smarts off. With all that being said this is my forum for the lawyer job.

I believe that everybody who deserves justice should be able to have it. Lawyers can help make that happen, aswell as prosicute dangerous and violent people, help innocent victims and familys feel safe and secure and win many cases. this is what drives me to become a lawyer. Although it takes around 6 years in university, I am determined to help make the world a better place in the future! Email me if you want a long term pen friend!

well we cannot change the world yet we can save innocent lives. Today there are so many victims in the prison who are suffering for the mistakes that aren't committed by them. So we defienetly have the option or opportunity of saving such lives.We should always remember that someday the truth will win!!!!!!!!!! Also law helps towards the development of the country. Because it always keeps the people aware of the punishments they recieve for the mistakes they commit.

Just imagine how many guiltless people are suffering in this world just because they don't know their rights and there is no one who could help them. I'm studying law and I hope that in future i will help to a lot of people to obtain justice
