Just thinking about Lawyers ...

Are these people not acting as advocates and/or agents on behalf of their clients? I think that drawing their client's attention to opportunities that would normally be overlooked because of (the client's) lack of information is a service of some value. If, on the other hand, the exploitation of those opportunities brings some deterioration to our society, we should focus our attention on, and correct, the root problems and not pursue the easier path of placing the blame on Lawyers. Their propensity toward high visibility, their comfort with theatrics, their mastery of the language and practices of persuasion (manipulation), and their generous (to them) fee structure makes Lawyers (un)popular targets.

I'm not a Lawyer. I have no friends or acquaintances who are Lawyers. I have only dealt with Lawyers as a client. The few Lawyers I have had any dealings with seemed like honest hard-working professional people who held their client's best interest in high regard as they performed their service. The fees seemed high, but I can think of few cases where quality comes cheaply.

Cheers, PW.

P.S. The joke.

Q) What's 100 Lawyers buried up to their neck in sand?

A) A sand shortage.



Cheers, PW.
