When it Becomes a Deadly Profession

They say that any profession can be deadly if you are at the wrong time and at the wrong place.  Being a lawyer multiplies that probability don't you think?  Being a lady lawyer is another challenge.

In past months,  news from ISIS-held parts in Syria reported about three female lawyers being executed just for one reason -- being educated.  Sad news but if this is true, this is one of the cases when being a lady lawyer becomes liability.  The lady lawyers are said to have previously run for elective posts before the fundamentalists took over their areas.

It is a fact that the practice of legal profession is rife and involved with extreme emotions from both sides of the fence,  why would they go to court in the first place if the feeling is otherwise.  Being prepared if you are a female, male, from LGBT, is therefore a must in such a case.

It is best to be always ready, get some sort of protection especially if you are a lady lawyer.  This is not about violence, this is about protecting yourself when the need arises.  I am not talking about guns (though that can be really handy),  I am talking about arming yourself with real self-defense training even without the use of a weapon.

I am not a lawyer yet,  but boy, I will do every thing possible to protect myself if and when I do become one.  There are a lot of martial arts classes women can talk which can do on weekends or even night after work. I took one before, it is an Israeli army based style of self-defense. It was fun and a great learning experience that I would advise every female law student should take.

These are tough times and it won't get any better, I can assure you that.
