Because the law ceased being rooted in morality decades ago.

It has ceased being a profession and is now a money making scheme.

The more time you spend at a University, the more time you're indoctrinated.

I'm not convinced they are when compared to other professions

It's rather disturbing just how many scum bags there are out there

The medical profession has its share of scum bags. Same for law enforcement, same for construction industry, same for the hospitality industry.

You'd have to live under a rock to think that this is somehow unique to the legal profession.

Because when your arse is up against the abyss and the government or a corporation are about to put you in a coffin financially or literally, you want a mutha fukka who plays in their school yard on your side. Because you don't know the extent they can screw you and everyone and everything you love.

They are your protection....as "sleazy" and detestible as you might think they are. Because the guy or entity coming at you loves to grind you down....it's what they do whether it is the government , insurance company or other large corporations.

Because it’s the one career where questionable morals and questionable intelligence can earn a lot of money

I am the prodigy of Bowers, a YLS grad.

The memorization-only gunners hated him with the fire of 1000 suns.

This isn't unique to the legal profession

This would apply in finance, tech, medical industry, construction, real estate...

1. The barrier to entry to being an attorney is low, resulting in a lot of people becoming lawyers, many of them unqualified.
2. Because there are too many of them, some become dishonest to make money.

I think it centers around law school. By my third year, three out of four of my classmates were insufferable. I think the self-importance and egocentrism of most lawyers is spawned by the academics who train them to think they're better or smarter than everyone else. I will say though the one out of four in my class who weren't insufferable are some of the best people I know.

Then, once these lawyers begin actually practicing, many of them see people at their most vulnerable and desperate. They begin to truly believe that they're better than everyone, because many of their clients are train wrecks with serious problems.

There are no hyper intelligent lawyers. They are mostly people whose mommies and daddies wanted "professionals" as their offspring but they were not smart enough for medicine or engineering.

I'm surprised how many people still don't understand this^^^^.....the most effective way for evil to permeate and influence society is by manipulation and control of the law.
