We are also the only profession that is required by law in most states to give our time free of charge to the indigent. When I was in law school, that was called taking property without just compensation. The state calls it a condition of abtaining a license to practice.
Lawyers don't get disbarred for what we are discussing here, things like bringing frivolous lawsuits. Who runs bar associations? The lawyers. No bar association I've ever seen disciplines lawyers for filing lawsuits.
Here in Florida, for instance, you only get disbarred for comingling trust funds, or if you screw up big time and totally neglect clients' cases so that they get thrown out of court, or maybe if you get caught and convicted of a serious crime. The people bringing frivolous lawsuits are in fact the ones in control and in management positions in the bar association.
And in one of the most shamefull displays of the legal system working, after blantant lies under oath, Bill (The Slick One) Clinton is still a lawyer...
See how wonderful the system is!
Of course. I worked my way through college as a cocktail waitress.
Attorneys get disbarred all the time.
Some do, some don't.
Bill Clinton would be a shining example of those who don't.
