“It’s actually quite perverse how they try to portray lawyers as being some sort of vanguard of freedom. As a profession, and class of individuals, lawyers are the scum of the planet. Peel back any social ill like an onion and eventually you’ll find a lawyer at the center... fighting to spare the murderer, fighting to get the fetus vacuumed up, fighting to take away your ability to defend yourself. Absolute scum.”
Yes, You know what they say: “One lawyer in town will starve to death, two will get rich!”
And the corollary: What do you call an unsuccessful lawyer? Answer: Your Honor!
