Not quite. I know what you're implying, that society is totally responsible for the situation, but I don't buy that society is totality to blame. Lawyers are a profession. Professions are distinct from crafts and trades in that they have a responsibility to a higher power than just attorney and client. For lawyers, they have a responsibility to the law and the public good. But the legal profession has always sold itself out of actually existing as a "profession" and they continually reduce their own status to that of a trade by ignoring their responsibilities to the law and the Constitution.
Society gets most of the blame, but I am not willing to hold lawyers blameless.
Prostitute, assassin, drug dealer, just to start. Society has decided that these are professions best not practiced, or to be severely limited.
But trial lawyers prey on the innate greed of the masses, who secretly hope they will get that megabucks winning civil suit spilled in their lap, so to speak. They are lottery tickets walking around and everyone is hoping for the big payout.
Such greed has its price, and we are all paying it.
