Week 2 - Thoughts of the Justice System

The justice system in America is completely messed up. If a lawyer makes a mistake with handling anything, he or she could either have their license, or whatever they call it, removed. Now, I understand that it’s their job to do something correct. If I messed up at my job I’d be in a lot of trouble as well. But I don’t agree with the fact that if a person was proven guilty, but someone messed up the paperwork that the entire case is thrown out and then the lawyers get attacked. People make mistakes, and I just do not believe that a small paperwork mistake could jeopardize everything that those lawyers have worked for to bring some kind of justice to light.

So, what else can I say about the justice system? Well, I do believe that there are a lot of laws that are somewhat backwards. I mean, there are still laws on the books that no one has ever taken off that are just completely ridiculous. For example, you cannot park your elephant in Miami Beach for more than thirty minutes or that you cannot serve apple pie without a slice of cheddar cheese in Wisconsin. I don’t understand how these laws are still in play. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

I do appreciate everything that the justice system does offer me. If of course this happened to me, I could sue a company because I was attacked by wild geese on their property. I could also sue a company for being electrocuted because I used their brand of blow dryer in the shower because it did not specifically say that I could not use it in the shower. America is great that way. You can sue for anything and a lawyer will back you up one hundred percent of the way.
