It could be quite surprising the number of lawyers that are currently in congress for the simple fact of the public's position or view of such. Many have found that they could have always wanted to become a lawyer either representing/defending the accused or prosecuting those who have been accused beyond a reasonable doubt to with hold justice. However, looking within the aspect of our systems of justice some may say it's blurred. What could be the impact a profession can have within a congressional session?

Studying within criminal justice and the level of litigation a lawyer must accomplish, not only in evidence and reason but also in rationale, shows how extensive a lawyer will go to prove his or her case. Looking at lawyers in a political science study shows lawyers true capacity. The comparison of both studies can be truly interesting. However, looking at the comparison of what certain lawyers had to go through to become licensed attorneys can be considered interesting.

The idea of diversity of opinion and litigation is something of an idea that has been presented before. It was aired back on August 5th, 2011 on Real time with Bill Maher, however, I came across it much later. Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist, stating numbers about the congress and the diversity of professions. Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson stated at the time "57% of the Senate & 38% of the House cite law their profession ". He then goes into the fact of litigation and diversity. The facts of litigation as he stated was that a court room rules not on what is right or true but on which side has provided more support towards their claim.
