Ma...My condolences on being mistaken for a lawyer. Many people have no interaction with the courts in their lifetime. I, of course, am there all the time. The inside of the courtroom is not a good sample of the general population, especially when their are multiple types of courtrooms for multiple types of disputes and/or offenses. Although, I found it very interesting to hear a relative outsiders perspective on a world that has become routine to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587705075919282650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6853635643486173008.post-21299306287853906512009-07-18T15:36:08.644-04:002009-07-18T15:36:08.644-04:00That's a great post! And some very interesting...That's a great post! And some very interesting observations on your part. <br /><br />First, I take it you were over at 1801 Vine Street, which is where the criminal juvenile cases are conducted. It is a scene with which I am quite familiar. I have been one of those lawyers defending some of these kids who found themselves on the wrong side of the law, or parents who, for whatever reason, got themselves into trouble with how they were raising their children. The looks of anguish on those faces are real, and sadly, so is the look of disinterest and familiarity on the faces of the attorneys and police officers. After awhile it just becomes a job, and one day just rolls into the other. It's sad but it's true.<br /><br />As an attorney who not only defends criminal clients, but who finds himself at another family court building (34 S.11th Steet) in judgment of others, I am in a uniqure position of seeing things from both sides of the coin, and I must tell you that I don't like what I see on either side.<br /><br />Thanks again for the post, and for writing about your observations.<br /><br />This is how we learn form each other and improve things.<br /><br />Peace.field negrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15411743587725023134noreply@blogger.com
