Chapter 4: Cora Munro
Cora---I graduated the university two months ago. My father thinks I am going to start law school in the fall at his alma mater, Yale. I have been accepted but I am going to surprise everyone. I am not going! I majored in pre-law at Yale and the more I know about the legal system and lawyers the less I like the idea of becoming involved in that profession. Both my parents are lawyers, defense lawyers. After listening to them discuss their cases for many years I have concluded that about 99% of their clients were guilty. All my parents ever talked about was the different ways they were going to get them acquitted; or get them a plea deal to lessen their punishment.
When I bought my horse and stabled it at Hawkeyes place, I heard the entire story about how some slick attorney had beat the prosecution’s case with a technicality. They both laughed and thought it was funny how that drunk got away with murder. I was almost sick to my stomach. It was at that minute that I decided I wanted no part of being an attorney.
