No.

( He answers. Not anymore. Javert has learned the value of defense attorneys, and the role they play in the system. Champmathieu did not have one, and he defended himself quite poorly. Had it not been for Valjean, appearing when he did, he would have been sentenced to the bagne for crimes he did not committ. It would have been an injustice. Javert does not say any of this. Instead, he folds his arms over his chest, and mutters a bit sardonically, )

There are worse things to be.

( there are worse things to be indeed. defense attorneys and law enforcement were not particularly known to rub shoulders, but Matt likes to think they more or less want the same thing. justice for those that deserve it, protection for those that needed it.

also, it doesn't hurt that Matt literally refuses to represent guilty clients — that's the usual sticking point between the two parties. )

The law degree doesn't do me much good here. Hopefully this — ( Matt waves a hand at nothing in particular, but he means the patrols more than their surroundings, ) Hopefully this will. ( when he first arrived in Beacon, he'd been certain it was some kind of purgatory. a place for him to atone for his violent tendencies, because ends didn't justify the means in the eyes of God. he has shied away from the tendencies that had damned him, in hope of cleansing his soul. so far, it doesn't seem to have helped much.

maybe it was just a matter of time before he ended up on patrols in the dark. this was what he was good at, and more and more he's finding plenty in Beacon he wants to protect. if all he has to offer this place is his willingness to fight, well, it's good that Matthew Murdock has never turned down a fight that needed fighting. whether it was a losing battle or not. )
