“Does America have a lawyer problem, or a law problem?”

Both. Our laws were written by lawyers for lawyers.

[Doogle]

justice is no longer blind

[Safrguns]

It has a liberal judge problem that fuels the lawyer problem.

That’s why tort reform won’t help.

We have to find a way of getting rid of bad judges.

The Al-Qaeda Bar (Big Law Firms Line Up to Represent Terrorists)
"Some of the nation's wealthiest and most powerful law firms have donated hundreds of
millions of dollars in free legal services to terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay prison.
Their work, bolstered by left-wing activists groups, has helped to free, or force the
transfer, of hundreds of al Qaeda suspects to third countries. Some have gone back to
terrorism and the job of trying to kill Americans.

The work of big American law firms on behalf of al Qaeda is drawing new attention since
Attorney General Eric Holder decided this month that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who
orchestrated the murder of over 3,000 9-11, is coming to New York City for trial. Holder
was a partner at Covington & Burling, which in 2005 gave one its attorneys an award for
aiding 17 Yemeni suspects at Guantanamo."

A list of 10 of the largest American legal firms representing Guantanamo terror detainees:
Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw

Manatt, Phelps & Phillips
Shearman & Sterling
Allen & Overy
Convington & Burling
Dorsey & Whitney
Holland & Hart
Hunton & Williams

The Law is a political invention. Our society has too much politics. Too much government. Too much legislation. A truly limited government, overseeing only those areas mandated by the Constitution, would be much less capable of making life difficult through the legal profession.

Lawyers are vultures perched on the rim of the canyon of human misery!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[Ev Reeman]

Too many lawyers.

Not enough respect for the rule of law.

Not enough respect for law and order.

Too many plea bargains.

Bring back the death penalty and start executing criminals again.

Reduce the number of appeals.

Too many criminals given slap on the wrist sentences.

Too many criminals handled with kid gloves.

Too many criminals given light sentences.

Too many liberal judges. Too many of them are way too lenient especially on child cases of pedophilia, child kidnapping, rape and murder.

[JimRed]

Keeping them OUT of government would be a great first step in correcting the problem. They get into congress and start passing laws that require the use of their services to comply. Never vote for a lawyer!

[Mr Ramsbotham]

And if the end result is less work for lawyers, well, maybe some of those excellent minds can find something entrepreneurial to do instead.

We can always use more burglars and armed robbers.

Most all of the lawyers I know have one mantra, they don’t care about serving justice they care about gaming law. In fact, they start gettting very self-important indeed when you address the issue of justice with them, immediately treating you as niave for not understanding that we are all slaves to the law and that in being so, justice will be done more often than not on average.

I find their entire premise to be an assault on liberty, as it rejects that notion that the law itself should only exist to serve justice, and that laws that do not do so are an attack on man, not a benefit.

Further, an law that requires that a group of lawyers vote on it to determine its meaning is worthless by definition.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Anyone who thinks there are too many lawyers needs to explain why legal fees are so high. Those two things shouldn’t be able to coexist in a competitive free market.

[DManA]

Here is the promise from the Bar - You bring us ANY proposition, we will find support for that in the law.

No it’s not so much a nation of law as it is a nation where the smartest lawyer prevails.

[JoeGar]

Instituting “loser pays”, like the rest of the industrialized world, would end the vast majority of totally useless and trivial lawsuits and would end the careers of vast numbers of legal leeches.

Why lawyers can be a problem.
2 people have an issue over some property damage (mailbox) a a value of @ $40. Because they can not agree they go to lawyers. Because the lawyers each defend their clients position to the nth degree of the law, the case progresses from local Courts to County Courts to State Courts. In the end the $40 claim is settled with a toal cost to EACH PARTICIPANT in excess of $11,000 in lawyers fees court paper filings etc etc.
The winner of the case then sues the losers for their share of the fees thus strating the process all over again. The lawyers get rich the citizens get screwed............

[Munz]

Daily justice is raped by lawyers who "defend the law" and use every loophole they can to get criminals off the hook.
Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

The worst of it is the amount of laws on the books that are meant to cover one or two persons or corporations.
Money changes hands to help a few and the rest of us suffer. But that is never taken into account until another lobbiest comes in
and "helps" another "representative" who then makes another law.

In our country there are litterally hundreds of thousands of laws now.

Far too many. yet convicted criminals who should never see the light of day are walking the streets after they served their time.
Can someone tell me .. how can a child molester, rapist or murderer have served enough time to be released?
