It was always shitlaw. No upside. Low rent criminals have no $ and are demanding and possibly violent. White collar is obviously a different ballgame but that is all big law or ultra specialized

Some shitlibs on a mission squander their degrees by going into public defender work but the burnout rate is high. I'd be curious to know what their career arc is like after that, because I'm not sure how marketable even HYS is if you spent your 20's defending crackheads and now want to actually make $.

Plus the clients are very stupid, which is why they're criminals. Proves the "can't handle abstract reasoning" thing in spades, so you have to ask your client questions very carefully.

E.g.:

BAD: If the state is able to recover surveillance video from the gas station, what would it show?

BAD: If the bystander customer is interviewed by the police, what will he say he saw?

GOOD: Yo man, what did you do?
