Unlike now where best case scenario, you pay top dollar for a fair outcome.

Guess who the judge on people's court is?
Wait for it.....
It's coming....
A LAWYER.

are you saying that a "common" person couldn't be a judge? in fact,,,,i believe that the state just voted against the "common" man being a judge just a few years ago. reason being is that the bill was written by.......you guessed it.....an atty.
here's how it was written (basically)- in order to become a judge......you must first be an atty for at least 10 years. it was voted unanimously.
however, I ask you what the outcome would have been if it was worded like so:
in order to become a judge......you must first be an atty.
my guess is that the people of the great state of La would have unanimously voted it down as they didn't know that you actually didn't have to be an atty.
my opinion.

Please tell me where personal injury attorneys fit in?
I was a personal injury attorney - a lifetime ago it seems.
If another person or company harms you with their activities - if there wasn't a civil court system, you would have to ask them nicely to make you whole. If they didn't, you could choose boycott, telling everyone you know about them, vandalism and/ or physical violence against them.
I'm not going to defend the massive advertising firms who are personally repulsive to me - even when I was in one, I blanched at some of the advertising (and the firm I was in was trying to keep it classy back then - they're still around, but have gone more "Morris Bart" in their approach - particularly as they have had to compete with him since I left.)
Every profession has it. Doctors have mega-advertisers and sleazy ads. Accountants have it with the tax software ads. Lawyers were pioneers in this category of sleaze, no question, and they are generally high profile, high volume and extraordinarily easy to parody.
But, to pretend everything would be hunky dory without lawyers is nonsense. The cops would run roughshod over every single person. And that's just for starters.

In small claims court like Peoples Court, possibly.
To decide multimillion dollar ip disputes between international companies - hell no.
To decide "bad drug" claims - hell no.
There's more to lawyering than figuring out who caused the dent in your pickup truck.

Sorry - this oldie but goodie image popped into my head. Should be a laugh for both sides of this issue:

Sounds like someone is butt hurt over getting an OSHA citation. Look you need to blame democratic socialist nanny staters for that more than lawyers. They are the ones who decided you needed to wear a safety harness every time you climb a ladder, etc.

You seem well equipped to take that position.

Being that you are likely part of a large, multinational corporation that is most certainly under the purview of numerous state and federal workplace safety agencies, I'd imagine a lawyer (!) has specifically carved out a nice little water break for your fancy arse in some obscure federal regulation.

And when that person has done the job for years and becomes well versed in disputes and cases they would basically be attorneys.
Also imagine who writes the rules for these courts?

I would say that these accomplishments are in spite of an overly complex and bureaucratic legal system, not because of it. It's a system where people benefit a great deal from society while providing for it very little.
