valid points.

my neighbor is a public defender and chronically overworked. all I know is she doesn't get the low-hanging fruit and profitable cases, she gets to defend those who can't afford representation - but crucially - only because it's criminal, not civil. I look at all the cases decided by civil law where people have to seek legal aide because they can't afford representation and weep.
