1000 Days to the Bar: But the Practice of Law Begins Now
1000 Days to the Bar: But the Practice of Law Begins Now

As with any profession, there are good and bad lawyers. Some who are ethical and some who don't care how far they stretch the law in order to realize high fees. A family friend is a great lawyer, into local politics, and so compassionate that he has trouble making a living. That's one extreme. My daughter just ran into the other kind-an attorney for Grittman Medical Center Hospital where she was badly burned while in their care. The attorney for the hospital lied his way through a mediation session, manipulated and pulled strings denying the injury until the "settlement" became a joke. In the end, my daughter was able to buy a new washer and dryer with her "compensation". Period. After all that, the hospital administrator sent my daughter an apology letter for her injury and a photo of new heating pads now under use to avoid similar future injuries. But she is scarred and will suffer pain for the rest of her life. A plastic surgeon evaluated her injury and there is no surgery that could repair the deep scarring that she suffered across her abdomen. Sure, the hospital's attorney "won" but what kind of ethics is that? Is perjury not illegal outside the courtroom? There certainly should be laws governing appropriate compensation for wrongful medical injuries - too little is as bad as too much. These are extreme cases, but like used car salesmen, attorneys and lawyers often have to fight bad public image before anyone knows who they really are. Unfortunate, but with people being genuinely hurt in and outside the courtroom the only way to change that image is for lawyers in general to become more sensitive to the morality of how they represent their cases.
