Her special area is called “public interest law”. Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. All lawyers have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers’ fee? Public interest lawyers fell this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients have the help they need, even if they can pay nothing at all. Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty merchandise. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened with eviction (being driven) and have no place to go. Their cases are all called “civil” cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seek those public interest lawyers who handle “criminal” cases. These are just a few of the many situations in which the men and women who are public interest lawyers serve to extend justice throughout society. “A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity” means ______. she has tried to earn her living by providing service for human beings she has tried to provide service to people in need out of humane consideration she has tried to work for the cause of law at any cost she has devoted herself to the public relationship in spite of loss of income What is the difference between public interest lawyers and other lawyers?
