If I were a lawyer I wouldn't be able to live with myself in Canada. I'd have to move to Russia or Saudi Arabia or Paraguay or someplace where people don't like democracy, inclusiveness, and equal justice for all. Someplace where "truth" is the sole property of the rich and powerful.

  Remember the movie "And Justice for All" starring Al Pacino? The  injustices inflicted on a constant everyday stream of low income folks was so horrendous, Pacino's lawyer colleague goes beserk and becomes violent in the halls of the courthouse.

  That was, I guess, 30 years ago. The (in) justice system has gotten worse and worse as legal aid has shrunk and compassion for the poor has diminished.  And that's been happening with the proliferation of female lawyers, feminists who, one would think, might be more empathetic, inclined towards equality, and passionate about making the system more inclusive.
