What my classmates think of the Legal System

This week I read my fellow-classmates blogs on what they thought of the legal system. Their thoughts were very interesting, they had some strong opinions, while others just merely stated what they have heard.

Here I have chosen three that I would like to comment on:
“But based on what I have seen since I got here, I think that the legal systems tend to make small situations, extremely big situations for no reason and both parties could save money, if they left out some of the unnecessary procedures.” (Najbicz, Tristan http://safadrafting.blogspot.com/)
This is solely a matter of opinion, it depends on what each person deem as necessary versus unnecessary. Though Tristan further in his blog explains this, I must say, the government is doing what they think is right and necessary for non-immigrants in the U.S.

“I think that the legal system is the entity that holds the power to keep things in order in our everyday life, which is necessary for a civilized society. Just as it says in the book.” (Perez, Angel L. http://alperez322.blogspot.com/)
I believe in this as well, Angel makes a good point here. The system does in fact keep things in order, even though through our eyes at times it may seem a little over the top, but it is for the benefit of our society. Everything is fine, until something happens to us.

“I strongly believe that there’s a lack of moral values and as people we get so caught up trying to do everything the easy way because god forbid we have to work hard for anything. That we throw our morals right out the window, doing anything to make a quick buck or to be head of the committee.” (Hernandez, Jaqueline http://fashionvsstyle-jackie.blogspot.com/)
While I admit that there is a lack of morality, the society can create its own monsters. Bad things happen to good people. Though we should never compromise our morals, who are we to judge?
