Slashdot has a net interview of lawyers who help defend people against the RIAA. But the thing that really made me stop was this Q&A: Quote:

shouldn't this have been a poll?

"Lawyers" covers a lot of ground. There are lawyers that never see a courtroom, but sit in an office all day crossing T's and dotting I's, to make your world more orderly, predictable, less hassle.
There are lawyers that use the law, and it's many convoluted paths, to cheat and steal from widows, orphans and charities. The rest are spread out in between....just like real people.;) |
My wife works for lawyers...hopelessly disorganized, seriously human, lawyers. Their clients are largely hopelessly disorganized, somewhat marginally mafioso entrepreneurs. Makes for some interesting conversations.

My friend's going to be a lawyer once she gets out of law school. I just can't see her as the bloodsucking sort.

We need more pro bono in the world.

Okay, not quite. Sometimes the virus mutates, the newly minted lawyer becomes a Public Defender, and they just get jaded and bitter. |

wasn't there a cellarite a while back who was just finishing law school at U of Illinois, or something like that? maybe she could give some insight as to how the virus first began to take over her life... if she was still here.

You hate a lawyer until the rich guy in the mercedes decides he doesn't have to stop at a stop sign and plows into you and puts you out of work and you can't pay the mortgage. Or the factory near you contaminates your drinking water. Or your kid's school implements the policy of mandatory Islamic prayer in schools. Or something like that happens to you. And after they help you, they defend a murderer or big company, and become hated again. |
But the other side of the coin is the lawyers and politicians, of whom most are lawyers, have created a legal system that defies common sense and is so convoluted, you can't do anything without them. :yelgreedy
