How does her father being a lawyer influence Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird?

When the
situation with Tom Robinson came up and the case was assigned to , both Atticus and his children
were affected by the situation. At first,did not understand it. Then, she realized the hatred
with which the townspeople would regard her dad, and how she, herself, was called all kinds of
names.

However, Scout also witnessed how lawyers have to stick to their
clients, and defend their innocence and their rights against people, against society's opinion,
and against the environment itself. Scout saw how Atticus fulfilled his duties in and outside of
the courtroom, and she saw from the top of the courthouse the depth of passion that Atticus
employed. She also observed and appreciated the amount of pressure he widthstood, and she even
stood up for him during the incident outside of Tom's cell.

Therefore, Scout
learned from her father's profession the importance of justice, and for the first time saw what
Macomb was really like, hence, appreciating even with more greatness how he stood against the
world as he knew it for the sake of saving an innocent man.
