>don't know anything at all about being a lawyer
>if someone hired me tomorrow to go sue someone else or defend them in a criminal case I have ZERO clue how to do it, I don't know what forms to fill, the step by step process on how to get through a criminal case, how to request stuff from a judge, how a judge is chosen to preside over a case etc.
>literally cannot work because i dont know anything, cant take any clients
>shell out big $$ to get into Criminal Law masters program hoping maybe i will finally learn how to do lawyer stuff
>approaching the end of my first semester
>studying stuff like, "opposing philosophical standpoints from 1920s German philosophers on whether or not attempts to commit a crime should be punished as harshly as a fully consummated crime"
>"If a man breaks into someone's house without causing any damage, fails to find anything to steal and leaves, locking the door on his way out, and the owner never realizes his home was broken into, should he be punished, and why?"

Am I getting scammed? these are some very expensive classes too. My dream was to fight injustice and help people who are falsely accused. Wtf is this stupid shit

Go be a legal assistant or something and learn on the ground. You're not a real lawyer right, no bar?

Wait, so you have a J.D. and still don’t know anything about lawyering? Or did you just get a pre law bachelor’s degree?

But I'm too old to get hired for those jobs. And yeah, I dont have my license yet, but that's a just formality where I live, no exam required.

>30+ yrs old after saving for college
>no one is hiring
Welcome to the practice of law.
>try to get clients on my own
You'll only get the most desperate, dead on arrival cases. Even then, you might cause the case to implode since you haven't mastered procedure.
>no Bar.
Clearly not common law Anglo-Saxon, non-western Europe or South America. Hell, not even Asian or Indian.
Reroll a new character and try not to be born as whatever the fuck nationality you are now.
Real advice. Suck it up and work for pennies.

Schools are pathetic. Rather had stayed a welder

University is a scam yes. The only people who are in education are retarded brainlets who couldn't make a career for themselves.

Yes for trespassing.

i don't have the same field as you but I was feeling in the same situation as you
there is nothing better than experience
i even felt that my studies were useless when I could have learned much more within 6 month experience

you aren't scammed, that's how studies are
now look for exeprience asap, that's all you really need

Trespassing isn't important. The point of the question is to discuss what should be given more weight- the intention the criminal had or the damage he caused. There is no correct answer. It's all vague nebulous bullshit.

[Anonymous No.58488180]

You didn't pass the bar? What kind of lanky ass law school did you go to? I feel like i would make a better lawyer than you and all of my current investments are fucking dogcoins and 30k on $conan. So, yeah, maybe you're not made to be a man of the law op
