Chloé, day 4

Mr. Keating is a public defender lawyer that came to talk to us. I thought it was really interesting to see from his point of view how he interprets the law. I was surprised on how he can manage 80 cases at a time and stay fully committed to every one of his clients. He cleared up a lot of questions of mine on how the criminal justice system works ( example: how the executive, judicial and legislative branches get along). It was interesting to hear that he prefers when his client is guilty of the charge so that if he loses, it's not entirely his fault.
