...we are sliding into (wrong verb, have slid into?) "government of the lawyers, by the lawyers and for the lawyers." It's not a pretty picture.

In view of that comment I was wondering if you had ever seen this old thread Lawyers Now Have Control of Nation Once Ruled by Law.

Your comments would be welcome there even now.

Your comments would be welcome there even now.

Thanks for the invitation, but all threads dated 9/4/01 or before have been locked so that one can't comment.

Yes, I DO have a reply to the thread about lawyers taking over the Hew Ess of Hay. The reply is in the third link below.

In addition, I have put in a proposal for a major research project comparing the costs of civil and criminal litigation in the US, Britain, Canada and Australia. I already know it's a far lower percentage of the GNP in those other countries than here, with some clear ideas of why.

The proposed title and subtitle of that research study -- if it is funded and goes ahead -- is: "Sand in the Gears: Comparisons of the Economic Costs of Litigation"
