GMA Integrated News journalist Chino Gaston, who is currently in law school, reflects on what makes a good practice of law in this essay.
Given my limited experience in law much more its profession and practice, I find it challenging to answer the question with any semblance of authority, much more confidence. But since I must, I would be inclined to believe that a good practice of the legal profession should remain faithful to the Constitution, to the people, and ultimately to myself.
This means the lawyer shall defend with all his might and knowledge the causes brought to him, or those he sees must be taken up in the name of what is just and right. I can say this is mercy or compassion not only to the injured but also in recognition of the circumstance of the accused, should it be imperative that their rights be also weighed in the larger scheme of things.
I am hardly the first journalist to aspire to be a lawyer but the path before me is clear: to tell the truth and uncover the ills of society but also to wield the instruments of law. Can the two co-exist without compromising the values of the other? That shall be my quest and purpose when the time should come.
