"Sadly the job security of lawyers has been ruined, so they are less willing to defend political defendants"
- Shirin Ebadi
About this Quote
This quote by Shirin Ebadi speaks to the present state of job security for legal representatives, which has been significantly diminished. This has actually caused legal representatives to be less going to defend political offenders, as they are no longer sure that they will be able to make a living doing so. This is an unfortunate state of affairs, as it indicates that those who are implicated of political criminal activities may not have the ability to get the legal representation they require to guarantee a fair trial. This might lead to innocent individuals being convicted, or those who are guilty not being held liable for their actions. It is very important that job security for attorneys is enhanced, so that they can continue to provide legal representation to those who require it.
This quote is written / told by Shirin Ebadi somewhere between June 21, 1947 and today. He/she was a famous Lawyer from Iran.
