Anybody there to tell me how does a lawyer work to defend his/her clients-case. Some people says lawyers just create reasons to protect criminals against the law. Do lawyers are there to maintain the law or to misplace it via reasoning?
Me got no clue how these people work.

Lawyers speaks to defend those who can't really defend them selves in front of a judge
They defend those who are innocent and criminals too, but most of the times Lawyers tell lies, well planned lies

Shu 0Byte! thats a bit tough to determine. but i think in some instances they really do the right thing and in some cases they do it for as long as they act upon it. I mean how on earth can a lawyer defend a person who have killed or robbed? I believe in some ways lawyers make money with all means, by protecting criminals like you said.
But lets here from law students or those who have completed law studies.
What are your views?

I am a law student and believe me, i don't give information pro bono, lets discuss the issue of costs first, then we will take it from there.

Yeah i agree with u Mind yo stuffs,.....i heard that this guys know how to tell a "well planned lies to convince the law 'n to make the lies to be the truth". Mhhh but what if i don't have money to afford a lawyer at least a best one. So i must spend lot of time behind bars ri8? It is not fair....maybe Natural selection lol"..for the fitest.
I even heard this saying lawyers won't enter God's kingdom coz they are crooks...just starving for money as Vero said. And why there is this say: DON'T TALK TO ME BUT TO MY LAWYER? Guys let us root out who are really criminal here. Omayoka naga ze utale mumwe nomihwiya

The whole legal system is a chain of events, every prosecutor’s dream is to get a conviction, every legal councilor’s aim is to win the case, however, there is what is called evidence; this takes us back to the commission of the offence, the duties of the police officer in relation to the chain of evidence etc.
This means that, if police officers do their job properly ( that of investigation and gathering of evidence) and evidence become overwhelming against the accused person, there is nothing a lawyer( not even Namandje, Bernard or his Son) can do to secure an acquittal but to work toward a minimal sentence.
Lawyer’s dont lie as it is a perceptional believed, they look for loopholes in the investigation and in the legal system, challenge the evidence gathered against their clients and put it to test against the criminal law.
It is also depend as to who committed the offence, how well was the deeds carried out, planting of evidence and misleading of cops etc.
Just like in medicine, the whole legal process can be really though to understand by a layman. Lawyers are just not for defending, but to ensure that the whole process is fairly observed and no short cuts are taken by the system to save time and just move on to the next case. They can be useful for mitigation, with other words, if the evidence is overwhelming, you simply plea guilty to the main charge and have the alternative dropped and concentrate on the mitigation factors for a lesser sentence like a warning or a fine.
Mhnnnnnnn.. ya that is part of it, but like I said, it is a process.

Lawyers are professional Liars… and of course Day-light robbers. I know of many cases where lawyers came to the rescues of people who practiced criminal activities and manage to set them free because the (perpetrators) got huge many to pay them. These professional liars know the law very well therefore they know how to break them properly. If you are rich, you can do almost all the evil things and you are likely to always be off the hook through the protection of Lawyers.
Their unrealistic consultation fees made them day light robbers.

Mhhh...about the fees....then suppose if i was a lawyer then i must work hard to win over all the cases against my clients. This will simply put my advert high too.....maybe that is why we got better and good lawyer that every client wanna defend his/her case. And, the good the lawyer...the more he/she is expensive. Then suppose i was a lawyer i have to convince people that am the ever best lawyer who can defend my clients and feel satisfied...i must make sure that my clients are satisfied and 2mro he/she may willing to come back. Of course no client wanna end up in jail or complicated situation. So clients must choose the best lawyer (sure lawyers themselves are competing too). So what if the criminal/suspect got enough money for the best lawyer? Is the lawyer suppose not to do his homework to earn such profitable bread? And u know lawyers are just human being mos like everyone except they are professional,...
QUESTION!
Suppose the country is zero tolerance on criminal and accusation, how this people gonna work? Will their face keep smiling?
Any lawyer there pls tell us...we 'r not saying wht we are talking here is the fact, maybe we just saying things in blindness....we 'r not professional mos

0Byte, if the country is zero torelance on criminal what do we need lawyers for? Lawyer won't be needed b'cos there will be no more work for them, unless they come up with something else. Do you think Namibia will be zero torelance one day? I don't think so! I really doubt it, but if it happen I will be happy and enjoy my freedom.
