The Worth of Being an Attorney

The outlook is bleak, we naturally got some questions on whether it is all worth it. Joyce wanted to ask, why be an attorney when the strength of my arguments or my client's case won't matter? And then we also got this question from Frankie: I'm a 32 year old actor and college instructor and I'm thinking of mixing things up and going to law school with a focus on social justice. We'd love to hear your thoughts on what it's like to be a law student at the moment given recent madness in the courts.
