We Ain't All Bad: A Trial Lawyer's Prespecitive On American Generosity
Indeed, we are good people. Americans help those in need. Americans have a great sense of fairness and are willing to balance the scales of justice by giving and by investing time for a good cause.
This sense of fairness is the bedrock of our jury system and is what I rely on when taking a client's case in front of a jury. When I ask that a jury "set things right" for a client, I know I must make my case and that I must appeal to the jury's sensibilities.
I have great faith in juries and in the American judicial system. It is a system that works when all those responsible for seeing that it works does their jobs. The founding fathers of our country set up a system that had checks and balances. The balance of power ultimately will prevail and the greatest good will result.
Below is a video which addresses the great American heart and underlines what a free country is capable of when driven to do what is right. God Bless America.
