There’s basically one guaranteed way to have a terrible workload and shit pay and no recognition as a lawyer, so I don’t really give a shit about how ideologically pure any PD is. They are definitionally fighters for the working class.
I once had an acquaintance that worked as a public defender in…Texas…Arizona…I dunno some US desert hell state. They said 3/4ths of their job was stopping people of colour with fetal alcohol syndrome from signing a confession because the police said if they signed it they could “go home.”
Being a PD, one of the most soul-crushing jobs out there, is just an “easy paycheck”??
Working as a nurse at the sewage treatment plant for the easy paycheck.

Maybe they meant easy in the sense that it’s easy to get the job? No idea if that’s the case.
It definitely is not.
