The good thing is that I've got five years left--two for a baccalaureate and then three for the JD.

Of course, I'm also looking at possibly holding elected office.

So, either way you look at it, I'm headed into a crooked profession...;)

But, since you are smart, you'll end up being a rich crook.

I met an attorney who might file a lawsuit for me. I talked to him for two hours and he is going to review my file, which is more than four inches thick.

He wouldn't take a penny from me. He said he makes his money from the cases he wins or settles out of court.

He told me that he has lost many cases that he should have won. He explained that the system has to protect itself. If he and other attorneys are always beating the crap out of the system then the system would look too bad to everyone and the system would collapse.

He almost quit being an attorney because of that. He said losing cases he should have won was making him physically ill. He couldn't stand seeing people get screwed over by the system and having no recourse even in court a lot of times.

But he prayed and the Lord calmed him down. And that is the only reason he is still an attorney.
