I respect those attorneys who have a conscience and truly act as an officer of the court. It can be a very noble profession. Unfortunately, it seems that most who go to law school learn to leave their morality when they graduate. Twice in my life I almost went to law school. I suspect had I done it, the profession would have burned me out quickly.

It doesn't take a lot of bad apples to spoil the whole barrell. Whenever people ask me what I do, I tell them I'm a frustrated and unemployed Rock and Roll musician (which is true-- I'm not employed as a Rock and Roll Musician). If I tell them I'm an attorney, they'll either spit on me or ask me for free legal advice.
