Classmate's thoughts on the legal system...

The very first statement that caught me attention was Jordan Grables first statement in his thought on the legal system. "There is an underlying theme within our society of a need and want for justice, but a lack of courage and trust in those charged with upholding the law".(http://grableaudio.blogspot.com/) . I feel alot of "justice" actually isn't justice for all. We all want to make a changes but do our efforts really matter? Its a tough world to deal with and sometimes it seems that the legal system works more agaisnt us than for us. The innocent do not always win. The tough part is that crooks know the law better than those who have never dealt with the law.
Which brings me to my next thought. We feel safe because we have a legal system, but when it's time to really rely on on it, will it be there for us?
“Our legal system is very tricky and it tends to play with our emotions. It will make us feel protected until we really need it. Then sure enough, they’ll go and stab us right in the back.” ( Jaqueline Hernandez http://fashionvsstyle-jackie.blogspot.com/ )
At the point where we are faced with a situation when we need to take legal action for our protection, how easy will this process be? We hear different laws over and over and think that we know what to do, but laws change, and they are manipulated by those who have more knowledge of them. "The legal system in the United States is so vast, even my business law instructor recommends us to get a lawyer when dealing with it". (Richmond Pham http://ailvbus111.blogspot.com/)
