3.The significant of the title is that's what he started to be. He basically became 'The Street Lawyer". He was now fighting for the people who cant afford a lawyer. He now is figuring out that life isn't all about money, it was about fighting for human rights. He was a now helping people on the streets. Hence, "The Street Lawyer".
4.My impression on him at first was he was gonna be this really high priced lawyer jerk. But as I read on, he was just a person that had forgotten what he once was. When time went on he became a caring guy all the time, not just when someone had money. It's like how he quite his job at the giant firm to help the less fortunate. Like as when he began to help out in the soup kitchen. Or when he went and bought a bunch of toys and cloths for a lady and her kids.
5.He seemed to really change after the homeless man had been shot. He was shocked at first, a little unbelieveing of what had just happened. But then he decided to do something about the problems in this world, and that is when he really changed.
