You're doing it WRONG.

Whenever I read things like these: Instead of granting agency, Phoenix Wright will tease, coax, and praise you into doing what it likes, but it will never let you guide. Thing is, successful lawyering should make you feel intelligent, not like you're along for a ride.(source)

I go, And that is how it shows you know nothing about what "lawyering"

...Seriously? There are people who think Phoenix Wright is realistic? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Okay, yeah, I think I've got some bridges to sell them...

I think of Phoenix Wright as what would happen if you took what laypeople think the law consists of -- a mishmash made up of Judge Judy, Rumpole, The Practice, their bitchy lawyer cousin, etc. etc. -- mixed it with a healthy dose of crack, put a cravat on it, and made it into a video game. *g*

I think Phoenix's reason for defending people is... probably right from a moral point of view though!

Money from corporations' probably a better reason to read law and become a layer than defending the weak. 8D

Oops, lawyer, not layer. But you probably know that. =D
