Today, I was excited to get my first writing assignment since starting law school. I found out that I have to write a paper defending free speech. This wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have to defend the Westboro Baptist Church and if I weren't a former Marine. FML

Yeah, part of being a lawyer is finding ways to defend people who are the scum of the earth. That's why they make the big bucks

YDI. Anyone can defend the man cheated out of millions, it's these cases you have to be a good lawyer for. You signed up for it.

The unfortunate thing about being a lawyer is defending people you think are guilty.

I get that it might be unpleasant, but you do realise that as a marine you could have been put in a position of having to sacrifice your life in defense of their right to free speech?

That really does suck. but look on the bright side. If you can write a paper defending it and do it well then you're doing your job perfectly.
