The fact he studied law cannot, in itself, either denegrate (or exhonerate) his character. We need good lawyers, not just a group of arrogant, heartless schmucks. There are some good lawyers, and there are several jokes about where to find them.

One theory: Six feet under
Another: Six feet under...because, deep down, they're all good.

If in fact, all our law schools are teaching the "moral vacuum" principle (as mentioned on "Daredevil"), and if all their students are buying it, we do have a problem. Luckily, not all of them buy into it.

Also, the fact he dropped out of law cannot mean anything, without knowing more about it. I've had to be around lawyers, and Matt doesn't strike me as the selfish, heartless brood of vipers type. If he were to go back into law, I hope he'd come out as clean as when he went in, but I'm not sure how strong his character is to fight against what is being forcefully pounded in. In most situations, though, I think most people in this thread agree, he does far better than average.
