Maybe it's time for socialized "lawyering." If you kill somebody, you can't hire Johnnie Cochran; you get the luck of the draw.

Socialized medicine would be a more likely solution. Less problem with the constitutional issues.

To those who see socialism as a solution, that is. You, apparently, do. I do not.

False assumption on your part.

The trial lawyers (Hillary) were/are behind the push for socialized medicine. If we have to take the luck of the draw for a brain surgeon or a cardiologist, why not the same for a criminal lawyer?

I think both professions do a poor job of disciplining their own.

When my relative had horrible legal representation, I filed a grievance against the lawyer with the state board. I represented my relative in the hearing and the lawyer showed up with a lawyer.

The lawyer got slapped with a reprimand. I've never read a law book. Says a lot about what's out there practicing law.
