Default Re: How Low Will The Lawyers Go?

Just 2 cents....

The truth (as usual) is somewhere there in the middle. Yes lawyers help us (common citizens) out of many legal issues that we are not capable or trained to deal with. And of that we pay you handsomely. However there is almost a "circle" of people that set up the legal system to begin with. When you can't do ANYTHING in court without a lawyer, it almost seems like a legalized form of racketeering (at least to us common folk who don't know the legal system).

So please don't try to argue that lawyers are the upstanding citizens that are wrongly persecuted when in fact the whole legal system in general very close to an "exclusive club". Remember the legal system dictates how virtually every other entity (private citizen, company, etc.) conducts its affairs.

This is just my opinion but also please remember that the majority of folks are NOT lawyers; American or otherwise and so we're not privy to all of the resources at YOUR disposal. To get at those we MUST go through you....

And yes, I did IT work for a Supreme COurt system and I do understand how judges and lawyers (and others in the system) are socially connected as well as professionally.
