Re:Lawyers (Score 1)

Far to late to be germane to the thread, but... (if your question isn't a rhetorical one) emphatically yes. I post this less out of love for lawyers (one too many in my family who are successful in their careers yet mediocre human beings) than an overall respect for what an effective legal system affords the citizens it serves. Redresses against organizations of compelling influence and overwhelming power (state or commercial) are accommodated in court (under an English-derived legal system, at least). Doesn't always work, isn't always pretty, but, aside from convincing legions or nations that yours is a righteous cause, it is the place one has to contend for justice. Makes you wonder just who is so emphatically anti-lawyer as to rescind such avenues, masquerading under the project of a more equitable society.

Now to drift off with too much red wine and too much time on my hands...
