95% of lawyers give the rest of us a bad name!

(I happen to put the blame first on the juries and judges. Remember, for every silly argument, there is a judge who allows it to proceed, and another attorney arguing against it.)

Good response. Also ask the critics who they voted for in the last contested judicial election and why. Politicians get plenty of heat but judges don't. And judges ARE politicians.

I am a collection attorney and will tell you that it starts with people. The problem is the growing number of people who believe that others should pay for every mistake that they themselves make. I hear excuses every day by these same people why they should not pay for services provided on their behalf. Its terrible, and your right, Judges and silly juries are mostly to blame. If Plaintiff lawyers did not know they had a friendly ear to bring the case before, they would never pursue it.

And voir dire makes it possible to select a jury worthy of blame, does it not?

Nice lawyerly response. You guys are the JUDGES, you rig the game to make sure juries are stuffed with people who couldn't pour piss from a boot with the instructions on the heel, then claim innocent. Feh.
