In response to your thought, attorneys work for clients, and it is the clients who pay us. If we were truly superfluous, then we wouldn't have paying clients. In fact, if I were willing to handle only pro bono cases, I'd have more work than I could handle in a lifetime. Legal Services has to turn people away because there are not enough lawyers willing to do pro bono. But most lawyers I know work very long hours on paying cases. Like us or not, we only exist because of consumer demand. Just a thought . . . .

I am not an attorney, coug. I understand your feeling about the litigiousness of our society, though. It isn't the fault of attorneys, of course, that it is often advantageous to hire them. I don't know whose 'fault' it is, but I do know it's a complicated social question.
