I was a solo practioner.
Until there is real tort reform, like loser pays, the law will be perceived as an extortion racket.
Further, the practice of law is as complicated as lawyers have made it.
Lawyers are no better than any other union shop type of grunts.
Law used to be an apprenticeship type of profession. Now it takes 3 years after your undergraduate degree to practice. That 3 years could be boiled down to 1 year if the case method was dropped in law school.
Law school left me unimpressed with the "study" of law.

I find your comments disheartening as the our justice system is the greatest the world as ever known. You should consider yourself privileged for the opportunuty.
As you are aware loser pays is completely unfair and would deny access to the courts for all but the wealthiest plaintiffs.
