I am writing a paper for a legal reelism course. It is basically a self reflecting paper about my law school experience, why I want to be lawyer, how I envisioned a lawyer as a kid and now as a law student.
It is going to start of with my childhood views and how I perceive lawyers being portrayed to the public via film, TV, reality shows, etc. I then plan to include some of the opinions and views of others (lawyers and non-lawyers) and compare them with my own. I am then going to view numerous lawyer films (starting with TKAMB) and analyze the portrayal of lawyers in each movie and sort of pick out what I see as the truths and falsities.
So I am looking for public opinion (both lawyers and non-lawyer views are needed) of how people envision lawyers whether it be money hungry scumbags, cheating their way to riches or people mortgaging their future to wield the power to help others or even somewhere in between.
Any comments would be greatly helpful, I am trying to get a wide range of serious views (ie more than one sentence and thought out), if anyone would like to contribute that would be great.
