Lawyers to be spent years in colleges and universities to be the lawyers that they wanted to be. They would meet people and friends and often would join a fraternity/sorority that could provide them some academic hands (and later on another set of hands that would lead them through strategically with the Justice System).

Being part of a fraternity/clique during law school would mean that people in the said clique could rely on you anytime and vice-versa. It would also mean that there is this sort of bond that served as protected blanket to all the comrades in the said clique -- meaning they would protect their ranks regardless if their comrades committed something unjustly.

This could mean that on a larger scale lawyers who are part of a clique could manipulate the justice system anytime they feel like doing it. And if one of them is accused of doing some unjust acts then they could manipulate the law according to what suit them. They in the end will be blinded with what is just because of the sense of camaraderie.

This sense of camaraderie also manifests in our government. Just because someone is a son of the house of representative then he should be considered to be the supplier of certain services without bidding... and just because he is a compaƱero of FG, he could do away with his corrupt practices.

What if I am a poor victim who does not have a resource for me to get a private lawyer, and the wise thing for me to do is rely on the Public Attorneys' Office, and what if the lawyer i get is a compaƱero of the one who abused power over me, you think i will get the justice provided by the law?

Hi tryx!

What do you think? If you want my opinion, our judiciary and the lawyers we have now are a dime a dozen. This is the reason why there are some cases where the case is not moving because the lawyers involved were somehow related to the judge or the judge are related thru frats and they do not inhibit themselves. take the case of villa hazing. the frat involved is the frat of lawyers and many of the accused were able to get out of the country becuse of the hocus focus of our judges which are brothers of the accused in that frat.

The PAO is an inutile group since they can not give real assistance to the poor. I even heard of cases when the accused were told by pao lawyers to just accept quilty plea so that the case will be finished right away. Justice is very important in a peaceful society and without it, there is chaos.

"The PAO is an inutile group since they can not give real assistance to the poor. "
This reality is sad. I mean, the poor and ignorant can never really have legal access to justice if the PAO continues to rot. Thanks for your reply everlasting. :)

With the pardon of Teehankee and Jalosjos, I think the government and the palakasan system and the injustices have a direct relationship. All in all it falls down to power.
