I'm married to one, does that count?
I know many lawyers since my husband is one. :) I also know the D.A. for Franklin County (he's a super guy with a GREAT sense of humour), a former Prosecutor, a Probate Judge and a District Judge.

Believe it or not, but I have a lawyer. He's pretty awesome, too. Don't worry, I'm not in some trouble or something. Well, I am, but not the way you think! Also, I want to become a lawyer myself. Maybe. But believe me people, I've already been in court, and it's NOT as awesome as in the Phoenix Wright games. And totally not as funny. It's actually pretty boring. |

It's actually pretty boring. Well, lots of people have lawyers...not just for criminal offences...I mean, divorce, wills, that sort of stuff needs a lawyer to make it official, right?? Divorce being the most common, besides corporate contracts...but I hope that's not the case for you... Well, yeah, real court obviously have more restrictions than the games, but sometimes there's flexibility too. As for being interesting or not, I guess that greatly depends on who you are and what role you play in being in court. If you're the defendant, then it is VERY interesting. If you're the victim, it's also crucial...family, friends, or relatives of either side...crucial, more or less, depending on relation. May I ask what you were doing in court (if it's too personal, just tell me you can't say, it's ok)? Most people don't actually go to observe court proceedings for entertainment's sake...well, I went because it was a field trip for class, we were studying intro law. Some cases were interesting, others, less so. |

I am gradually on my way to becoming a lawyer. Looking into something dealing with contracts. Not criminal law. People tell me I'd be better off with the latter. :P Contracts can't be that bad... -_- |

x_x My high school economics/US gov't teacher was a retired Prosecutor. He would tell us the crazy stories about police raids and confiscated items.. It was pretty cool.. Not everyday you get to hear things from the prosecutors side of the story. (I've had to hire plenty of D.A's for various accidents v_V so that's not new..) |

.... Okay, so I don't know the guys, but I live near two lawyers. One is an accident lawyer, the other is ... financial, I think. The financial lawyer is right next to Dairy Queen! I thought that was funny. When I saw the accident lawyer's office, I saw the scale of Justice logo thing. I squealed. xD; If I ever went into law, I'd want to be on the forensics team. But I'm more into art, so that's where I'm going. |

yea at first i thot lawyers were something only true asian parents (my parents were ok [yea im asian and proud of it]) would push their kids into. but then i started playing the game and as cheesy as it sounds i actually thot abt studying law. but i think all that murder stuff would give me depression. i mean the bit where we found out abt how edgy thinks he did it gave me chills even. i think the real thing would kill me. plus, too much risk. stun guns, blackmailers with bling who want to punch me, little girls wanting to slap me...

Wow...is that you in the pic!? O.O THe cosplays are pretty good.... Well, as for the real thing, there are definitely a lot of differences, probably a lot more complicated. BUt do not worry! Lawyers usually work in at least pairs (regardless of whether you are a prosecutor or a defense lawyer), and one of them is the lead lawyer, who does most of the talking. In bigger cases, you can get up to 5 lawyers per side, though that is rare and usually happens more for appeals (in Canada anyway, I believe that's the case). |

I think I replied to the last topic about this. My uncle is a retired judge, and my father is a defense attorney, who has also stood in as special prosecutor as well as public defender a few times. Dad ran for District Attorney, lost, but was invited recently to run for state Supreme Court judge. Sooooo his name's on the ballot for that and thank crap I don't have to help campaign for him this time! Yeah, my father has stories to tell, but mostly I'm only interested in fictional lawyers, lol. I've gone to mock trials a number of times, and my father would take me to his classes back when he was in law school still, and I had no interest in it. Honestly, I'm currently looking at medicolegal forensic entomology. Hey, 27 isn't too late to switch career choices, is it? |

My godfather (no, not a mafioso) is actually a lawyer, a defense attorney I believe. A pretty busy one. So busy that he has barely holidays and I see him once a few years. Meh ... I should show him Phoenix Wright once, I'm pretty interested how he would react. He has a good sense of humour, but he wouldn't appreciate the way the law system got changed in the game ... And I believe he doesn't yell "OBJECTION!" at the prosecutor, so that would be rather odd to him. But well, perhaps he secretly wanted to do that sometimes? |

I mean, both lawyers are trying to do the same thing...)

Basically both lawyers do the same thing, so there is no true prosecutor or defense attorney. (Matrimonial law = marriage law. When dealing with a divorce, both lawyers are trying to get as much as possible from the divorce for their clients.) |

My Mother's friend's son is a a Defense Attorney. But before that he was a prosecutor. He's been on both sides of the courtroom. He works in CA and while I was on vacation, he took me around with him and we met a judge friend of his! It was great! He probably wouldn't like me telling random people his name though. I'm thinking about becoming an attorney myself... |

My dad was a defense attorney for years, but he recently became a judge. Hopefully he's a little more on the ball than the judge in AA -- though I guess he DOES always hand down the correct verdicts... And my boyfriend's in law school, so he'll probably be working for his family's law firm eventually. |
