criminal defense attorneys

Via email:

I've recently gotten serious about attending law school and started studying for the LSAT last week.

I have been speaking with as many lawyers I can in order to get a realistic outlook on law, however I have not spoken to any criminal defense attorneys.

If I could ask you a few questions about 1.) Law School 2.) Your career 3.) any thoughts/opinions on the profession, I'd greatly appreciate it.

My response:

You Don’t Make Friends With Salad responds to my recent $1,000,000 post:

A (former) CNCN producer gets fired for expressing his own opinions on his own blog, and the blogosphere lights up about it. Any relevance of this story to blogging lawyers out there? Probably for big firm bloggers; not so much I imagine for criminal defense attorneys.
