WTF? Whose stupid idea is that?
Should airline mechanics be required to fix poor people's cars at no charge for a week or two each year? Not all Airframe and Powerplant licensed mechanics know how to competently fix automobilies. Should flight attendants be required to donate their time to staff soup kitchens and homeless shelters for a couple weeks each summer?
Most "real" lawyers in this country don't have the slightest clue how to serve as an effective public defender. If there aren't enough public defenders, society needs to step up and raise their pay and hire sufficient numbers of them.
Instead of requiring high income professionals to "donate" their time doing something they probably won't do very well, increase their taxes and hire well-trained public defenders with the proceeds.
If a licensed A&P can't competently fix an automobile, they have no business working on aircraft.
Your comment on 'real lawyers' not having the slightest clue as how to work as a public defender shows you lack of understanding for all things legal.
Why is it that more defendants using public defenders go to jail instead of the ones using the 'high priced' attorneys they can not afford?
Attorneys do better in private practice rather than public service for the most part.
You come across as a very selfish individual regarding your reaction to my comments on donating some of ones time to their respective community.
If more people donated time to various venues, My God, the world just might be a little better because of that.
Not sure where the RT thing came from?
I don't see many replies to these threads from trolls long blocked/ignored.

We need to see your tax returns.
In my view, better to tax the successful (the monetary successful) and use that money to hire and train competent people to alleviate those societal failures.
Oh, I see. So you are against forcing a lawyer to donate his time and expertise but, you are supportive of forcing taxpayers to endure higher cost for someone else's legal defense.
From my point of view it is the same thing.
Is taxing me more money not forcing me to donate to someone else's legal defense (against my will I might add)?
Do you really think collecting more taxes from working Americans is going to fix that issue?
Seriously?
Why not? Collecting more taxes from me so you could go to school helped "fix an issue."
