postmodern Public Defender

Some poor schmuck was given the sad job of defending poor private fools against acts of larceny perpetrated by the entirety of the general public. He seldom has the integrity to look his client in the eyes because he knows the public always treads on the private.
The importance we place on justice can always be measured by the amount of resources given to the postmodern Public Defender in proportion to the amount of resources given to the Attorney General.

Postmodern gothic

A sub-genre of gothic literature that features postmodern undertones. Postmodern gothic novels are often reflective of society post 2000, highlighting fears of the loss of self, commercialism, terrorism and technology. The term "postmodern gothic" was not in use much until recent years, and became especially popular when used to describe the fictional novella "Bittersweet Symphony" by author Rebecca McNutt. Postmodern gothics are especially popular with hipsters, up-and-coming-lawyers and businessmen.
"Wow, man! This postmodern gothic is so eye-opening, the way it describes the evils of advertising and corporate greed!"

"I prefer legal thrillers over gothics, especially postmodern gothics. I hate books set in the 21st Century."

Informed by the social sciences, works in this genre are typically situated against a landscape of urban and psychological decay. Particularly prominent in the midwestern United States.
