Yes, but the generalization that lawyers are scum has some merit. Consider these sayings: "When you swim with sharks, you become one or you get eaten", "When you lie down in a bed of shit, you don't get up without smelling like shit", "When you lie down with dogs, you get fleas", "When you dance with the devil, you don't change the devil, he changes you", and so on. My point is that lawyers routinely consort with people trying to screw each other in business. They develop quite a knack for outscrewing the wouldbe screwers. If they don't develop that knack, then they aren't very good lawyers. If they do develop the knack, many times they are changed to become as bad as or worse than the people they are defending against. Generalizations are used by people because they oftentimes accurately describe groups of people. But as with all generalizations, their are individual cases that disprove the rule, even if those individual cases are few and far between.
