Chapter 6 Lawyers

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers"

Why all the jokes and criticism of lawyers?

“The ethical practices of lawyers are probably no worse than those of other professions. Lawyers bring some of the trouble on by claiming in a sanctimonious way that they are interested only in justice, not power or wealth. They also suffer guilt by association. Their clients are often people in trouble. Saints need no lawyers; gangsters do” Lawrence Friedman

What do lawyers do? Give advice Draft legal opinions Negotiate settlements Litigate
