The In-State Tuition Break, Slowly Disappearing

I understand all the negative feelings our society has towards lawyers, and I don't blame anyone for having them. But there are a lot of us who are entering the profession because we have a sincere desire to do good.

I also think that if you talk to those interested in justice equity, especially public defenders, they will tell you that, while there may be too many lawyers in some places, there are many, many underprivileged communities that are underserved by our legal system.

This is exactly my point. We have too many lawyers in areas we don't need them and not enough good ones in the area like public defenders that we do. We would have no problem getting good lawyers in the public defenders office if the job payed well and they were given the time to do their job well.
