Also I am talking "real" paralegal positions here, not legal assistant jobs or legal secretaries.

How come adoption agencies and attorneys are allowed to profit from adoption? I was talking with my Mom and she made the point that it is illegal to for a organ donor to profit from donating their organ but doctors are allowed to make hundreds of thousands of dollars. She then said that adoption is basically the same way as an organ donation. She said that is the organ donor or natural mother isn't allowed to profit from the procedure than the doctors, adoption agency, and attorneys shouldn't be allowed to profit either. What do you think? With adoption and organ donors nobody should profit because without a donor or natural mother their would be no product. Sorry I am trying to put it in language that will not offend anybody.

What are your personal feelings towards defense lawyers/attorneys? Frankly, my personal feelings towards them are arrogant, pompous jerks who make way too much money than they deserve and because, regardless of what the constitution says about innocent until proven guilty which I wish we could change, they defend these low life scum or the earth individuals and help them get away with whatever crime they committed for all the wrong reasons!

How do attorneys and judges pick their jurors? I heard attorneys try to go for people who aren't too sharp and are easily persuaded, and judges go for people who are somewhat highly educated but don't know too much about a case. So, they have to compromise and find jurors who are educated but don't know anything about a particular case at hand. For instance, in a tobacco (health) case, they'll try to find a college graduate who has a degree in communications or engineering, which is pretty much irrelevant to health and tobacco.

How much money do court appointed criminal defense attorneys make? The US Economic Census indicates that attorneys median income is $165,000 a year it also indicates that the revenue per employee in law offices is $288,000. I read an auditors report that said court appointed attorneys make less than $10.00 an hour and that, as a result most inocent people would be better off if we didn't have the right to an attorney. Also said that court appointed attorneys are an economicly disenfranchised group that need assistance. In high school I was taught that our criminal justice system was the best on earth. What is the truth? Are the people who are represented by court appointed attorneys getting real representation? Are the attorneys funded well enough to do their jobs? Do the attorneys make too much money? This is really an opinion poll. Please consider disclosing your status in your answer, ie. attorney or not attorney.

How can peopel become divorce attorneys? Criminal attorneys, tax attorneys, corporate attorneys, injury attorneys, and all the other types are cool in my book. These are all very interesting fields and if I was to be an attorney I would pick one of these. But how can someone who graduated from law school choose to work as a divorce attorney? It must be so sad dealing with all those cases. True, as a criminal attorney you may have to defend someone who you know deserves to go to jail or as an injury attorney you may have to deal with crybabies who don't really deserve the millions of dollars they are getting. But to work as a divorce attorney just seems so wrong. I mean, how could someone be the one that's helping to break apart a family? It just seems so sad and wrong to me.

Can any lawyers/attorneys out there give me your opinion? Would you hire someone with a felony record? I have a felony on my record from 5 years ago that's not violent or drug-related. I'm good at office work so I applied to attorneys for office positions. I thought they may be more open-minded to giving someone a second chance and they deal with people in need of legal help and/or criminals all the time so they wouldn't look down at the person as much as someone else might. They're not law firms, just general practice attorneys. Does anyone know if lawyers/attorneys will hire someone with a felony record? If you're going to be rude, please don't answer this question. I told my new boss today and he doesn't care. He said we all make mistakes and it's in the past. I'm good at what I do and very qualified so that's all that matters. :)
