Someone has said children know what they want to be in the
future when they are still young. It’s impossible; on the other hand since I
was 6 years old I have always said “I want to be a lawyer.” At the first time I
thought it was a child’s thinking ; I might read Sherlock Holmes novel or watch
detective cartoons movies too much so I just wanted look smart like them. As I
was growing older, I kept on this thinking. I could not imagine myself in
another profession. Becoming a lawyer has been my dream for a long time. I can
say that my academic interests followed what I was reading or
watching.
As a
result I chosen to study in the law major, this major has given me a new
direction. I have known there are 2 kinds of lawyer – advocate lawyers and
advisor lawyers - . Advocate lawyers they represent one of the parties in
criminal or civil trails by proving evidence and arguing in the court to
support their client. Another one is advisor lawyer who works on the companies
and consults their client about their legal right, cbiligations, and course of
action in business. This information has been a big influence on my life since
that day I decided to be a advisor lawyer because advocate lawyer is not my way
I thought If my client commit a crime, as a lawyer I would have to find any
evidence to support them. It is professional ethic conflict.
From my
point of view lawyer is similar to doctor who healing the physical part of
patients where as a lawyer heal people
both physically and mentally. Lawyer is a profession which is honorable and
important part of business such as taxation planning, due diligence and drafting
contract, I think without lawyer many corporations would find themselves with
problems such as what is the best way to run their corporations within the scope
of the law. If I can be a lawyer I could help and advise them what to do in
every possible way.
So I
would like to work in a law firm that serve companies and work as a lawyer,
helping companies run smoothly efficiently and within boundaries of the law.
Moreover,
nowadays there is a legal professional crisis. In Thailand many companies have
low investment money so they don’t get the right to have a lawyer. Because the
lawyer fee is high, they don’t have enough money to employ any lawyers. Yet no
one care about this problem. So as a lawyer I not only can help them to solve
their problems with a cheaper fee but also reduce a legal professional crisis
in Thailand.
So lawyer
is my dream job and
also my academic
interests. I’m happy to do it.
I also enjoyed reading Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stores when I was young. They're also great fun on TV. If you like to keep the original time setting, the Jeremy Brett series is great - I'm amazed at well they could bring to life London in the late 19th century to early 20th, with the horse drawn hansom cabs, the gas lights, and so on, even the awful London smogs of the time from all the coal that was being burned.
ReplyDeleteBut I also like the latest series starring Benedict Cumberbatch, which is set in modern London.
Thanks Thip for prompting these happy memories.
The Brett series is on YouTube, but not the Cumberbatch reincarnation.
Once I have loved detective stories. My favorite was Agatha Christie's, but I wanted to be another Agatha not Miss Marple.
ReplyDeleteI also love Agatha Christie too. Her detective Hercule Poirot looks normal but so smart.
