Great idea for a website; it has certainly peaked my interest enough to sign up.  However, I believe your "goals" should be revised to reflect the true intent of the creator.

 

Exhibit A:

~ GOALS ~

  • Reduce the crime rate, criminal lawyers, prison population and judges

 

First of all, the sentence is misguided.  Most "criminal lawyers" tend to be court appointed attorneys.  These attorney's have case loads up to and above 300 at one time.  While it would be great to see less crime in our city, it would affect the amount of caseloads marginally and would have no impact on the amount of criminal lawyers in our city.

 

Second, this "goal" implies there is a positive correlation between the amount of crime and the number of judges, which is fundamentally unfounded.  The number of judges is based on the number of jurisdictions in each state and each Judge is elected for a term of years.  While a reduction in the crime rate sustaining for a long period of time may decrease the caseload on a judge in a given jurisdiction, however, it would have no affect on the amount of judges in a given jurisdiction.  Having less crime will, however, give the judges more free time to golf :)

 

My third point is critical on this goal in general.  If you haven't figured it out by now, I am an aspiring lawyer . To me, your goal says "I want to put you out of a job."  While I believe your intent is noble, I think it would be less offensive if your goal read:

 

"To eliminate criminal activity by promoting social unity...."

 

Just a thought.  I am open to constructive criticism, but no hatin!
