Being a Public Defender

I have come to the realization that a public defender's job is often comparable to being a vet . You try to do what's best for your clients and yet they get angry and fight you (and sometimes physically attack). But like that vet trying to set that liger's (if you know your magical beasts) broken leg, you have to push through the yelling and complete lack of cooperation to serve their best interests. Also, it is apparently WAY too much to ask that my clients not be totally high/drunk when they come to court.
