Hello, I just discovered you through Jesse Singal´s twitter post and have so far read two of your articles about lawyering. They brought tears to my eyes. I'm not a lawyer, but I am empathetic. My husband however is a lawyer. He's Spanish and we live in Spain. The Spanish justice system operates differently than the US system of course, and cases that go to trial are generally not as amped to nuclear level as they are in the states, both police and offenders still operate with a modicum of reason here. From what I can tell, reason really struggles to exist on the mean streets of America. Anyway, all this too say, you touched me with the story of your meth addicted client and it would be fun and interesting to have a conversation with you and my husband comparing notes about humanity, clients and the criminal justice systems you both work under. You are both sensitive to your clients and dedicated to helping them through very complicated, confusing and many times ethically challenging situations. If you ever come to Madrid, Spain, we'll buy you dinner.
Thank you for the very lovely comment! I only found it just now. I would be very interested in comparing notes with how criminal justice systems work in other areas. Madrid also has been on my list of places to visit for a very long time now!
