...and that’s why we get so many lawyers circling like jackals around the PI cases: everybody thinks they’re somehow entitled to a million-dollar verdict within the first 5 years (or ever!). What needs to be taught is: do the right thing, the right way, for the right reason. The rest will take care of itself.

“Funny how some lawyers claim to be for free enterprise except for their profession.”

This is true of any high paying profession. Remember it wasn’t many years ago that you could read for the BAR exam and medicine was a more on the job training experience than a school experience.

The argument is that things are more complicated now. That is only true for the more advanced areas of these professions.

One of the first tenants of Progessivism is that a specialized ruling elite is needed because the unwashed mass is incapable of self-government. Nowhere is this mindset more prevalent than in the legal profession.

I have to agree, since I’m at a Medical University, you haven’t lived until you have had a minor deity Medical Director tell you how to operate in you area without knowing anything about it.
