tbh the entire legal system should be ripped out and replaced so that you don't need someone with an expensive fancy degree to navigate it

but for now though public defenders are fine
some are shit and fail to help their clients properly but that's for many reasons

I don't think it's avoidable that you need expertise for handling something epistemically rigorous like the legal system should be. Other solutions include making the degree less expensive and cops and the legal system less predatory.

Overly idealistic, although it is true especially within immigration law that the laws are deliberately difficult to navigate without professional help.
