This post is something I have been thinking on for a while, but Laura McWilliams prompted me to post it with her Love of the Law, part 2 post.
I went into law school with a gut feeling that I could never defend criminals, and that if I went into Criminal Law it would be as a prosecutor.
Then I was introduced, through the eyes of cases skimmed during class and through the perspective of the Criminal Defense attorneys I “met” through twitter, to the Criminal Injustice system of our country.
