บท 823: Moral dilemma

"Just give it a try and show us your magic. You can do it."

A word of encouragement from your boss was always slightly motivating and moving. But this time, it wasn't. If anything, all Primo felt at his boss's remarks was dismay. To be fair, Primo simply chose to be a lawyer because he heard the pay was good. He could've chosen anything else, but for him, this was the easiest. Or perhaps, the fact that he hoped people would get justice he didn't have as a child played a huge part in it.

The reality was different, though.

When he graduated, got his license, and was accepted into one of the best law firms in the country — thanks to being a top-notcher on the licensure exam — Primo realized reality was always the same: disappointing. He had witnessed some guilty people get away from their crimes just because they had money for lawyers. Although there were satisfying and moral cases, the bad in them were equally mixed.
