Is all about people in power making stupid decisions.
Fuck the principles…
...Let’s talk about Practicle Legal Training - the mandatory course one must do to become a lawyer in Queensland.
In order to become a lawyer in Queensland you have to do this course, or else prove that you cover all the areas covered in the course while working. “Hmmm, what a good idea”, you may say. “This will ensure a level of skill and competency in the legal profession”. I’m sure this certainly was what the law society people thought when they made the descision to put us gradutes through at least two weeks of torture.
But NO! This shite has nothing to do with anything that will make me a more capable lawyer, or a better still, a more capable person.
I do not give a shit about trust accounting, civil litigation, advocacy skills, or formulaic order drafting. If I need to do that stuff, I will learn how.
What I want to know, which is of course what the law society does not deem as worthwhile to teach me is....
What do you do when a person who trusts in you cries?
What do you do when their mother cries?
Good people do bad things; how do you rationalise that?
How do you hold on to the beauty in life when there is so much disgusting injustice in this world?
