Is it associated with that Separation of School & State group??
Lawyers need to man up.

parsy, who don’t fit in
We are still paying off El Hubbo’s law school loans. We have paid twice what we borrowed, and we are still paying them.
El Hubbo has opined that this is a racket; the law schools, loan companies, and bar association are in cahoots.
The law schools tantalize with huge tuition schools that, should you get through them, promise a lucrative career.
The loan companies take advantage of the fact that you can’t get government loans so you have to get private loans. The work load at law school is too high for all but the most energetic and bright to work outside of school. So, you borrow, because you have been accepted and have a bright career ahead of you.
Then the Bar Association makes sure that less than half of you are ever accepted to the bar. Its essay questions are arbitrarily decided, so even if you get all the answers right on everything else, you may never pass the bar, because some reader somewhere didn’t like your essays. They could have been brilliant. But you’ll never know.
If anyone out there wants to be a lawyer, be warned. Go into it with your eyes open.

Hilarious, not only for its prose but also for its honesty.
Too, sort of describes the state of most of the professions i've been involved in: dumbed down. Wait, did I just say that?
But I guess that's because the legal profession pretty much interposes itself into every other profession, and has that same chilling effect on them.
