I once thought that when I became a lawyer I’d have the power to do something about abuses of power by those who should protect us.

Now that I am an attorney, I can’t even begin to explain how much I underestimated the barriers to being able to do that.

It really feels like there’s an entire armed wing out there with almost no real mechanisms of accountability to the rule of law, to due process, to equal protection, to *justice*.

I’ll do what I can. But I don’t think lawyers can fix this.
