Imagine a young adult friends and family and asked to defend your country in a foreign country. One day during his nest with your team, you are suddenly surrounded by a group of enemies, people at risk – a mocking, teasing mob, probably armed, angry and upset requested by the faceless voice in the dark and fire. A shot – the fees train fire – and the subsequent criminal proceedings on charges of murder. His case isSet for trial and the jury is fully equal to the amount that they feel threatened, first together.

The crucial role of a defense attorney

Defense lawyers are called by our judicial system for a variety of tasks. They explain to their customers what happened and make sure that every defendant knows his rights and aware of what happened. As a consultant advocate for the protection of these rights is responsible and ensure that the customerreceive the protection of all citizens granted by our laws. The lawyer is not against the tax, call and examine any witnesses in court and do whatever the law allows to protect his client from harm – or at least limit the damage. This means that denies the charge, conduct and also the laws governing the case.

We often take for granted such protection, make fun or as a mere "technical" nonCriminals to escape justice. It 'easy and often tempting to dismiss the lawyers (and all lawyers) of hacks whose sole professional responsibility is to confuse confuse juries and courts. And people sometimes, when the defense is clearly guilty, it may seem that the defense lawyers an unnecessary luxury, that we are only in the way of protecting people against the worst elements of society. But just as the crimes come in a variety of shapes and sizes, often the criminals arewith citizens, a fact that some of us come to recognize a confused way, when we sit at the table of the accused, his fingers did to us. Then we realize how important a strong and independent defense bar in a free society – so that citizens may challenge the actions of their government. Viewed in this light, is the foundation of American freedom, our right to rules we all agreed to live, to defend us in a language usepublic place, where the actions of the government, which must condemn the attempts to prove that we are, we have violated the law.

Lawyers are not only making life difficult for the world. And their work is an important, though often misunderstood safeguard against tyranny. Imagine what would happen if the government could decide that, in prison – without the interference of their actions on the evidence of this Act. The freedom of each one of us would be in government handsBureaucrats – people who like all the others who have their likes and dislikes, prejudices and slight discomfort.

A backup of freedom

To a large extent, the law is there to protect us against the tyrant. But without the resources for the activities of our government is a challenge, would be little protection to citizens against a tyrant, who wore a badge of the police, prosecutor or law enforcement or come in friendship with the people, which does justice how to righthis friends. And if you're always on the wrong side of the measures by the government, you see, that the ability to use the right to defend itself, to be critical. Among the first victims of Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia was the independence of judges and the legal profession. Once these bulwarks against tyranny fell, there was nothing of common people against the unbridled assertion of state power to protect – no matter how false, or smallcould be harmful. But it is rare that the government should directly attack their own citizens instead of coming attacks against marginal groups that happen that no one to defend, but apparently a threat to state security. Unfortunately, these threats has never seemed to end and if it blows the doors of the enemies of the state continued as the government is constantly struggling to find new enemies, and fear of new dangers.

The example cited at the beginning ofrefers to one of the most famous debates in American history – said by the defendant, rather than the victim. E 'was the Boston Massacre, was born in a time of increasing tensions between the colonies and Great Britain. The encounter between the soldiers and the crowd has led to blows – no one knows who fired first, although some tests have shown that it was a British soldier who was frightened – and in a country without a strong defense bar, the young soldiers wouldProbably were quickly caught and hanged, if not by law, then the crowd.

Thanks to a courageous lawyer in Boston, was awarded the defendants a fair trial and most were for reasons of self-defense, not guilty, despite the feelings of the public. A pair of lower cost of culpable homicide was found guilty and released – the verdict is appropriate when the emotions and provocations, not a legal excuse murder, but is less shame, and above all, a fallible human responseextreme stress.

The defender was a leading member of the status bar, which then served his country in a variety of ways – Crown Ambassador, signed the Declaration of Independence and second President of the new United States.

E 'was John Adams … Patriots and rebels, for the defense.
