Question 2

Please respond to two other students' post

1. Student
I feel lawyer should be aggressive to a certain extent some lawyers are overly aggressive when often times it is not needed. I feel lawyers should be aggressive when it is needed, for example if a defendant is charged with murdering someone and has not came to truth with his/herself or the lawyer. I feel in this case the lawyer should be very aggressive. In other minimal cases such as petty theft there shouldn't be to much aggressiveness that should occur, but the lawyer should not take it easy on the defendant either.

Yes I feel Orly Taitz's deserves the $20,000 fine because the system and higher up's would not lie on her as well as make up any story for what she has done. I feel if the crime was committed she should definitely be punished for it no matter what. All rules and laws should be followed in order to obtain a steady career in the field of which she has signed up for.
