Oh, Dickens took some very good shots at lawyers in Bleak House. Especially the opening, where his description of the fog is crowned by the Lord Chancellor!

Ask almost any lawyer about Jarndyce v. Jarndyce, and they will know exactly what you're talking about.

Anthony Trollope also skewered the lawyers, especially in Orley Farm.
