The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers' Party. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are lawyers. Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama are lawyers. John Edwards, the other former Democrat candidate for president, is a lawyer and so is his wife Elizabeth. Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate.) Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Benson, went to law school. Look at the Democrat Party in Congress: the Majority Leader in each house is a lawyer.
The Republican Party is different. President Bush and Vice President Cheney were not lawyers, but businessmen. The leaders of the Republican Revolution were not lawyers. Newt Gingrich was a history professor; Tom Delay was an exterminator; and Dick Armey was an economist. House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer, not a lawyer. The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon.

ANYBODY, and I do mean ANYBODY, with a four year degree can get into an ACCREDITED lawschool somewhere in the USA.
There are more first year seats than applications. There is a GLUT of law schools.
I don’t see lawering remaining a viable profession since it is now been reduced to an anyone can enter vocational school program.
some juries only have six and one alternate.
Gore, the great Environmental Scientist, flunked out of Divintity School. Then he went to law school. Obviously with his undgrad and divity school record, he'd not have gotten into law school, if his father hadn't been a US Senator, kept by the famous commi lover Armand Hammer.
-—agree completely—
Thanks. Its good to have that happen once in a while. :)
You know what they say.... it's the 98% of the lawyers that give the other 2% a bad name....
Howard Cosell, explaining to Dick Cavett why he didn’t finish law school, “Insufficiency of intellect.” And at the same time brilliantly illustrating his point.
True...
...but you have to be prepared to lie to twelve depending on the juridiction.
