our legal justice system is faulty!!

While the public, lawyers, and politicians are primarily concerned about the legal procedures of the many legal cases that continue to infest our daily newspapers, a close inspection at the pattern of legal actions taken in courtrooms prove that the audience should also note the flaws in our legal justice system today. Careless errors in the infrastructure of the system can produce significant dangers in the lives of innocent people, and the United States should take immediate action in discovering a more secure system to avoid any mishaps.

It was the summer of 2007 when Kim&Woo, LLC law firm took me in as a student intern that I discovered my dormant passion for law and a desire to explore the rules by which we distinguish our behaviors. During my three-month internship, I encountered many concerns, some of which I was petrified to discover and yet so fascinated to extract from many cases. While the public, lawyers, and politicians are primarily concerned about the legal procedures of the many legal cases that continue to infest our daily newspapers, a close inspection at the pattern of legal actions taken in courtrooms proves that the audience should also note the flaws in our legal justice system today. Both heedless and unintended inaccuracies in the infrastructure of the system can produce significant dangers in the lives of innocent people, and the United States should take immediate action in discovering a more secure system to avoid any mishaps.

I want to devise an improved legal system in which all citizens can obtain the most competent representation and prosecutorial conduct regardless of income, race, sex, or any other identification and in which a method will offer sufficient and legitimate proof found before any executions are made. Too often, innocents have been convicted with amateur evidences and authentications due to careless mistakes in geneticists, lawyers, and judges. Geneticists have previously made clerical errors in DNA handling and interpretation, and lawyers have been sleeping during trials, an act that should have been addressed but wasn't. The first step in improving our legal system is by controlling these malpractices, whether it is through legislation or stronger implementations of encouraging higher performances. Additionally, while technology demonstrates capability to discover a more judicious method, the government is only reiterating what has been practiced in the past. Such study would require that I analyze an ample amount of cases of various subjects that would adequately represent many prevailing cases and that I collaborate with crime scene investigators and the like to formulate a new method of approach. In the process of the experiment, I hope to explore the history of our legal system including the explanation and the foundations for the design of our legal system today and the many laws and processes that have eradicated in the past.

While some are not aware of (or perhaps rather ignorant of) the erroneousness in the American legal system, others have only made equivocal efforts in renovating this serious issue. President Bush signed a Justice for All Act on October 20, 2004 – an imperative legislation that was designed in hopes of ultimately bringing an end to the miscarriages of justice by guaranteeing access to DNA testing, competency requirements by defense attorneys, quality legal representation for vagrant defendants, and increased compensation for wrongfully imprisoned defendants. Actions such as these help ensure that American citizens are well-protected by law, and I'm determined to induce new processes in our legal system as a step forward towards a change in American lives.
