ISSUE
: “WHY I want to be a lawyer?!?!”
RULE: The purpose of this blog is to encourage discussion. I am totally aware that my opinions usually vacillate between the cynical and the idealistic, and this is my attempt, before I take the bar, to “come clean.” Thus I subject myself to you for debate. Don’t hold back.

Some writing about the dramatic Duch closing arguments, with the defense divided, the court asking if they are pleading guilty or asking for an acquittal:

Quotes from Francois Roux closing argument, incredibly moving and deeply philosophical, to come soon hopefully.
