Shirin Ebadi Lawyer Quotations

Sadly the job security of lawyers has been ruined, so they are less willing to defend political defendants.

In my memoir, I wanted to introduce American women to Iranian women and our lives. I'm not from the highest echelons of society, nor the lowest. I'm a women who is a lawyer, who is a professor at a university, who won the Nobel Peace Prize. At the same time, I cook. And even when I'm about to go to prison, one of the first things I do is to make enough food and put it in the fridge for my family.

Lawyers have a dangerous job in Iran.
