Hired Guns Do Verbal Battle For Good Causes

We all know that no person can face the great challenges of our age without the cooperation of others. That’s why there is a creation of a legal system.

For Plaintiff, a civil suit is a way to justice. For Defendant, it is a way to show that the plaintiff estimate for damages and injuries sustained are too high. And for Lawyers, it is a way to generate income.

No matter what the world seem to be, the insight of lawyers gives the client a genuine edge.

Both desirable and undesirable qualities that grows and is often seen to grow out of legal education and practice of law, viz. Attitude of lawyers towards his wife, his children, business associates, bankers and towards the government.

lawzmagazine.comAttitude of mind and practices which generate so much negative reaction from people, lawyers must change or modify their behavior, their process as their disfiguring features cause people difficulty.

But more striking is the public reaction, or put another way, it is striking how little some people have changes despite the threat and escalating danger posed in day to day.

Obviously, mistakes can be made by in any system. All institutions and systems are imperfect and each can be improved. But what counts and basis the foundation is what starts building the character of the individual – a lawyer, in relation with how and in what manner the problems are taken and resolved, considering the interest of his client.

In the subconscious of a lawyer it is the interest of justice and in actual reality the words speak up the picture surrounding the interest of his client.

This piece of article basically concentrates and focuses on the fact that whatever and whenever a lawyer does or acts in the battle in court, his words shoot up for good cause, in advantage of his client.

Whether a lawyer succeeds or loses in the matter/case or he colors the facts, spins web or mischaracterize the meanings of facts in an attempt to advantage their clients; his actions cannot be in nature of impossibility or manipulation disinterested to the client.

There is range of issues involved in a matter, but the humanitarian issue has been one of the first preferences in acting upon a case for a lawyer even submitting his arguments to the court.

The bringing of the lawsuit is regarded as a last step in the process of settling a dispute. This phobia in the mind of people has made this legal system and practitioners a curse, abuse in the process, which delays the award and effect of judgment and further negates the purpose of law drafting committee. The lethargic and fatigue steps in solving the problem from the grass root level of aggrieved persons most of the time causes hardship in their own matters, and when everything seems to be adhoc and vague, they switch to lawyer’s desk.

This debate is clouded by ignorance of law and practice. In this debate, the role of a lawyer is both praised and criticized. It is defended as the best way forward when see it as a way of achieving greater heights for the client, and yet shunned by the same when the competitive forces involved in the case hit too close to home and when client blames the lawyer for the rapid change in the environment.

Lawyers are often accused of using obscure language, but every trade has its specialist language and law is no exception.

General philosophy of life has been that:

“They gave me a gun and i have to kill the closest friend they have. They do it to see if I can be trusted. If i don’t kill him, their friend will be ordered to kill me. I had to do it because otherwise I would have been killed. That’s why I got out. I couldn’t stand it any longer.”

Lawyer fights from beginning to end, from cause to effect, from the first to the last course which in latin it is said as “ab ovo usque ad mala. With stronger reasons, he argues from head to heel and from the day brings faith to the end, coram populo.

The problem is not that lawyers lack power to do this – the problem is the failure in the midst of things, to use the power quickly, effectively, consistently in response to situations of urgency involving prisoners, criminals and other detainees and threatened individuals. The result is either death or victory.

To me one of the measurements of an ordered society is how we manage differences. Is it by the rule of law or by force?

Lawyer may be used in an effort to save someone from torture, death or willful and medical negligence from an unfair trial or political killing, any forcible acts and human rights abuses.

Hiring of lawyer is not an end in itself- and neither is the practice of lawyer. Several other important issues of transparency and accountability in to perhaps underpin the legal system/network.

But at first appearance sometimes a lawyer has no competence in many of the issues brought to his doorstep. I must quote that “the law is hard, but it is the law”, arising as a matter of law.

I suggest that why not to eliminate a problem at the grass root level, ab initio by appointing or taking assistance from lawyers in regard to the proposal or any establishment to be made by any individual rather coming across hardship in future, which may take you no way. It has been an accepted fact that “Do it to him before he does it to you” signifying take a precaution at the threshold before you get late.

From one’s own experiences lawyer fights with highest praise, sui generis, for the highest good to the greater glory of mankind. So why not to go ahead and enter the doors when opportunity is at the doorstep.

Realize your mind and make your presence felt as “Yesterday is beyond repairs, tomorrow may never come today is ours, so lets do it today to make it a better tomorrow”.
