The Role of Lawyers and Law Students in this Ever Changing World
By: Marianne Audrey C. Mahusay - Bonjoc
I have always been fascinated with Lawyers ever since I was in highschool. I admire the convincing power that they possess. They carry with them "influence and control" over the people.
In this changing world, the big role of the Lawyers is to use that influence to convince people to do what is right and good according to what is written in our Constitution. Lawyers are advocates for strict and faithful implementation and observance of our laws. They must teach respect to everyone's rights as citizens and as ordinary individuals of the state. In doing so, they themselves must practice what they learned in their day to day living.
The Lawyers have knowledge of the law and they know by heart what is right. Campaigning to do what is correct starts from the “self”. Should all the lawyers desire to do what is proper and persuade others to the same, coping up with the changing world won’t be difficult. It is in abiding to the rules where peace and harmony would prevail.
The Law students being given the opportunity to study the laws of the land must learn them by heart and start within themselves to practice the established set of rules. The big role is to share these things to the society. Becoming part of groups who are environmentally concerned can be a tool for campaign. If the law students start to practice implementing and enforcing what they learned in school, they will be bringing these when they become lawyers in the future. Having good and ethically filled lawyers helps a lot in coping up with this ever changing world.
