I was pending on having my career relating to law as I've always loved mystery solving and detective work
But after playing Phoenix wright I am going to become an attorney, it has influenced me quite a lot.
I want to become a prosecutor
or a defense attorney 
but prosecutors get way more money then defense does for some strange reason. 
What about you guys? any plans?

It can vary.
But both make a comfortable salary.

I'm now well on my way to becoming an attorney, and I happen to think it's one of the most facinating careers available... but that's just me. As I mentioned before I am a total law geek.

Being a Defense Attorney is an option that I may explore, though. Now that I've been exposed to it a little.

i still don't want to be either a prosecutor or a defense lawyer though. i wanna be a divorce lawyer.
i'm a hella good reader and writer, but my arguing skills could use some tweaking though. ah well...i'll learn in time.

And I once was in one of his lectures and boy! that was quite boring, i say! maybe it was due to the professor but it didn't really seem as if anyone was really interested in this. Though something tells me that if you made it through all the study than it isn't all that bad to be a lawyer after all.
I always wanted to be police officer but due to the fact that I don't really get the training system for the police force in germany I wounded up studying economics. But maybe I'll go into the police force when I realise that there aren't really any jobs for economics that I care about (which I'm pretty sure is exaclty what's gonna happen, but what do I know ^^)

I don't care if I get less money than the defense,
and I don't care if I have to work long hours of hard paperwork,
causing me to dream about office supplies, and flying jack thompsons,
I still want to be a prosecutor!

Very inspirational. I could only imagine your face when you screamed your first "Objection!" into the microphone. Doing it in a real court is something I can only dream of.

If you're good at it, you can make serious money. Plus, you'll run in the reall glamerous social circles.

But yeah, I've always loved mystery so despite even playing the Phoenix Wright games, I probably would've wanted to be a lawyer or detective. Though my first career choice was a doctor.

But I argued a lot with people in general (I was a know-it-all -.-; ) and tried to argue against the rules, so I guess I earned a rep in grade school. xP
...not so sure if I'd like to pursue anything in a law career now, though, haha. (Actually I gots NO idea what to do with meself! :D )
Plus the law system in the Ace Attorney games are probably not like the actual law system ... in the US. Amirite, amiwrong?

Everyone wins. *Shot*
I intend to take up law, not because of the PW or anything. I had thoughts about it before I even started playing, so there. As for why I play the PW games, I realize that they are nothing like the real world. I only play them because they're fun and make me think.

i can only wish ^^. everyone starts small so i'm probably gonna be handling normal divorces for most of my career. but if i could handle a celebrity divorce or child custory battle...then hawt dawg, that'd make my career.
It's pretty different.
Haha.
i believe the ace attorney legal system was based on japan's legal system...so it's quite different from america's or whatever non-japan country you're from.

So whipping is actually allowed in japanese courtrooms?
I sure hope they have some huge gaps between the AA law system and the one in japan. Because in AA I always get the impression that you even though the guilt of the defendant is very much in doubt, you have to prove his innocence and find out who the real criminal is, or else the defendant is going to jail anyway.
I always thought it's the other way around - the prosecution has to proof without a doubt that the defendant is guilty or he's going to go free anyway through absence of evidence or something like that?!
or maybe that's just my spoiled western way of thinking, influenced by all the law-movies. (There just HAS to be some truth in them ^^)
EDIT: wasn't that what happened with OJ? It was pretty obvious that he was guilty but he got free anyway because there wasn't any definitive evidence?
I like elbow patches...

Was that supposed to be satirical?
I've explained many times that my career isnt based on AA, I've always wanted to go into law
AA has just shown me how things are done in a court room, to which has influenced me to become a lawyer

i know what you mean. i always thought that since japan's way of doing things are usually opposite from america, then over there, you're guilty till proven innocent while in america, it's the other way around.
don't quote me on that though. it's all pure conjecture.
