Yeah all us lawyers belong in hell. You are probably much closer to being there than most.
LOL ... at least until one of us needs one of you! ;-)
I recall a quip credited, I believe, to Abraham Lincoln, that "the lawyers are nearest the fire."
It's almost guaranteed to come with the territory. All notion that ethics and morality matter in the eyes of the law are purged out of their minds in law school. It's a matter of how well can you play the game, as if it were a session of Monopoly.
I didn't say all lawyers belong in hell. You shouldn't take it so personally if you are not guilty of abusing your profession. I feel sympathy for those who are victims of the "justice" system and believe that lawyers and judges should face an equally horrid punishment for their ego driven pronouncements and amoral maneuvers when it results in the imprisonment of an innocent man. Why is it we afford judges and lawyers protections from recourse that no other profession receives when a life is destoryed?
I will be honest in that I don't think highly of lawyers or judges and the phony perches they create for themselves to look down on all the common folk maintaining a legal system where a person can not reasonably represent themselves in a credible way because of the increasingly complex puzzle of laws that manage to be enforced in a way that is more like divination than the application of justice.
