Male Female

Personally, I believe working as a lawyer or judge would be incredibly stressful for my mental health. As a lawyer, I'd be obligated to defend clients who may have committed serious crimes, which would be emotionally challenging. On the other hand, being a judge is equally demanding, as you have the immense responsibility of deciding on people's lives by imposing potentially life-altering consequences. The weight of such decisions would be incredibly heavy. Ultimately, I wouldn't choose a career in law for myself due to these inherent pressures. Thank you.
