All things considered, as host of "Justice Restored" (rebooted), "Great and Relentless Few" and formerly; "The Dilema", a podcast, focused on underlying factors, that lead us to the question; "Who provides legal help to the indigent?" outside pro bono, or minimum hours required per year;   Here's what we know. . . Based upon surveys of 3L, 4L, and recently graduated law students back in 2015; most have the initial intent to help the indigent, after establishing a legal career.  That is, until the vanity of becoming a lawyer creeps in and bills pile up!  Amid the deafening hum of reality, late nights writing essays, case briefs, completing homework, and reviewing notes from lecture weeks past - we hear faint whispers of reason, floating like ghosts, slowly down the hall to where we sit. Dreaming of the assumed awesomeness of life post-graduation, as the voice of reason draws nearer. Suddenly we see, it's not the voice of reason at all, rather "The Dilema". Go big-time and make tons of money (or so it's assumed), or dedicate one's self to a life of service - to the indigent. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/adelita-moran/message
