Most new law grads and most practicioners dont make a lot of money. This date is for the large law firms.

Its fun hating lawyers, but guess what happens when you need one/

first rule for tyrants: first we get rid of all the lawyers.

this has very little to do with the ecconomy. Rather it is a result of a plethora of law schools.

ANYONE ANYONE ANYONE with a four year degree can go to law school. There are more first year seats than there are applicants.

Law schools are easy money for universities. you just need classrooms, failed lawyers known as professors, and a student loan office. Presto easy money.

What we really have is a transfer of wealth from the working lawyers to the ivory tower slimes.

It was true when I got my law license and it’s true now: there’s not a first-year lawyer in the world worth six figures. In fact, IMHO, there are very few five-year lawyers worth that.

Yeah, until you need one. Then you are $hit out of luck!

Good luck representing yourself in a lawsuit.

The lawyer-haters need to make up their minds:

Are there too many lawyers? Or are they overpaid?

You don’t get both in a free market.
