Respect Movement
A Lawyer
Night activity is the same as usual. Nothing special as long as I follow the special education advocate. This heart does not really want to. At the end of special education our advocates are taught exhaustively. Taught many things the light and dark side of a lawyer.
"This is our last meeting, anyone want to ask?" ask teacher. I raise my hand.
"What if a good advocate according to you? Whether an advocate can reject a case requested by the client, basically the client already trusts the advocate. Then what do you think about lawyers for corruption cases?"
“There are more who ask?”
After waiting for a few minutes no one asked.
"Alright, I will immediately answer, all lawyers are good if he does his job professionally and is said to be not good if he carries out his duties in accordance with the law on advocates. Could refuse. But, how valuable if the advocate accepts the client. Well, if an advocate who defends corruptors. Here I say, the lawyer did not defend the corruptor, in quotation marks. What they are defending is the rights of corruptors. Sometimes that right is not fulfilled. However, it is also not closed the possibility that advocates defend corruptors by reducing the punishment of Bahlan free from punishment.
So my message is to be an advocate who works full of professionalism. And remember the more problems the more you will wear. Expect more legal problems in Indonesia"
My forehead wrinkled. In my brain I do not accept that between professionalism and law enforcement and welfare are juxtaposed. The three sentences are not related. Before the closure, a senior advocate recounted his complaints during his time as an advocate. He said he had been lied to by clients, reviled for not winning his clients and many more things. Only closing. Today we know a lot about. And in the next two weeks we will take the bar exam. I didn't leave the house until the lawyer's exam. I spent every day just studying to pass the exam later.
On a clear morning, the rain falls on the earth. My phone rang, Dinda called, said the spirit of the exam later. Thank you for answering me. I took a shower and went downstairs.
“This morning is the test?”
“Iya, Yah.”
“Thank you Yah.”
I had breakfast earlier than Dad, Mbok Emi knew that I wanted an advocate exam. “This milk is drunk so the test can”
“Iya Mbok, thank you”ucapku.
Mbok smiled like an angel falling from the sky.
After breakfast I headed to the exam site. It looks like the future of young advocates. White shirt and black dress for
male and for female black. Some people are busy flipping through the laws of advocates. The information obtained all about the exam is taken from the law of the advocate. Test takers of all ages. At exactly eight o'clock we entered the room that the committee had determined. The exam starts soon. All the participants seemed serious about taking the exam. Until I finished, I went back home. Next week the test results will be published.
That morning I got word that I graduated. This news is between joy and sorrow for me. My father hugged me, “Finally you graduated too, proud father,” exclaimed father.
“Thank you Well,”tapku without expression.
Three days after passing the bar exam, I interned at Mr. Umbargus' office. I always talk to them. The days I spent were very busy. Sometimes I think about contacting one of them. But, my heart says I'll be mistaken for a non-committal person. During my time as a lawyer, my days were rarely empty. If not at the office, get out of town. Mr. Regar also entrusted me as a member of his team. We are entrusted with winning land dispute cases. I'm screwed up. Ask to understand the dispute. For three months I slept only six hours a day, the rest I learned the object of the dispute. Not only that case, seven months after the case was running I also handled a mysterious murder case. It's worse than watching a horror movie. Ten lawyers have been called. And the tenth could not defend him. Because there is a shadow that always stops and haunts his lawyer. Honestly, I'm actually scared. But this was a valuable experience for me. The two big cases finally raised my name. And the team's victories in those two cases raised the trust of senior office advocates to me. I was given a bigger job. For almost four years, I've always handled bigger civil cases and criminal cases that have affected many people.
