no, a lawyer took $3K off 100 clients, and made one a winner.

but without lawyers, who's gonna outsmart the corporate tap dancers? or are we gonna go old school on their activities?
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

The lawyers help the corporates do the tap dance.
It's a win-win for all. Except if you're not a lawyer.

Sounds like an unawe inspiring bun fight where the buns get eaten and there isn't a fight. Maybe I should go become a lawyer

Nah, you have a conscience.....

I have heard we are second (behind the US) in the world per capita for use of lawyers. We seem to be fostering a litigious society with the Govt underwriting most of it through subsidising legal representation, investigation costs, tribunals etc etc. Generally to no good effect and more often than not driving two to ten times more expenditure by other parties who are involved in the litigation.. It only serves to suck money out of the community that then can't be spent on more productive things.
Only need to look at the money that gets spent (in total) by all the parties involved in leaky home claims through the taxpayer funded WHRS tribunal. Typically 2 to 5 times the value of settlements is spent on lawyers and experts by the combatants before the settlement is agreed and then has to be paid. It really is a unbelievable waste of fucking time and money. Pity we can't figure out a way to get everyone to agree to chip in and fix the bloody things in a fashion that sees 100% of the money spent by everyone going only toward the cost of fixing the physical problems.

They've been like that forever; eg "first thing we do is kill all the lawyers" - Shakespeare, or "Jarndyce and Jarndyce" - Dickens.
And they'll be the only thing, along with cockroaches, left after a nuclear war.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

One hell of a ride.
It would be interesting to see how quickly all this contempt is forgotten if any of you end up actually needing a good Lawyer.

I didn't feel like I got my 13k's worth... they also tried to slide a few more expensive lawyers on to the case without explaining that they where more expensive than the initial lawyer we were dealing with... so we got some money back. Not impressed at all. Actually, fuckin dodgy springs to mind, filthy dodgy.
Edit: praps milking a job for all it's worth is what makes them good lawyers?
One hell of a ride.
Maybe you're just mad.
