How can I use the ability to be patient to help with certain skills such as communication to help become a lawyer?
I'm an 8th grader and I'm 13 years old. My favorite class in school is English. I have skills in writing and time management. One of my hobbies is art, such as drawing.

I heard public defenders are really underpaid compared to lawyers, is that true?
I want to be a public defender but could reconsider - I heard pay is little and workload is really big #lawyer #attorney #criminal-defense

Do public defenders have the same requirement as lawyers (Bar exam, etc) ?
Aren't they technically government employees? Does that require any extra effort or tasks? #lawyer #attorney #criminal-defense
