I agree there are too many lawyers in circulation but keep in mind that having a just system that addresses corruption and protects property rights is necessary to avoid becoming like Venezuela.
Yes, it's important, but is that was those lawyers are actually doing?
I'm not personally involved in the business world, but I've learned a lot about it from family who is. Most of these lawyers aren't defending what is just, but targeting technicalities in laws and contracts that can get them and their client a nice sum of money. It's not really about the greater good.
Certainly, a hatred for lawyers as a whole is wrong, but we do need to pay attention to what all of these lawyers really stand for. Most of them are not idealists.
That's not the problem. All of our laws and regulations were written with lawyers in mind. When you fill out government forms, ever notice you need 2-3 times the amount of paperwork done compared to other countries? Conveniently, there's an army of lawyers ready to assist you
Most " paperwork" is at the state, county and municipal level in the US.
There are 195 countries in the world. How many have you lived in that you filled out paper work?
Lawyers need to create more regulations, and laws to generate more business for their ever increasing numbers. That is why most are so Liberal/Progressive. They want to grow government, and increase government influence on people so there are more reasons to use them. Again, we see the Left's main motivations as selfish, self serving, and for pure greed.
Not a bad thing. We are a nation with rule of law.
Don't forget that the U.S has more prisoners than any other country in the world by far. So, we need these lawyers. The U.S is also less safe than other Western countries. More crimes=More lawyers needed.
When we had paper phone books, one called the Yellow Pages, the largest two sections were devoted to attorneys and insurance companies. is any wonder most Americans are broke?
No wonder our economy is expanding so slowly. All these lawyers and accountants aren't adding to the economic output; they are subtracting from it.
We need many lawyers if we have people like Donald Trump and his lifetime 3500+ lawsuits. That's a lot of litigation.
