"A funny thing happened on the way to some of the biggest corporate frauds in America. Lawyers signed off on the controversial transactions that ended in the recent collapses of giants, such as Enron, and cost shareholders billions. But unlike the other professionals involved, attorneys survived largely unscathed and still self-regulated." -- OpEd in USAToday, August 15, 2003.
"Didn't do it. Lawyer fucked me." -- Inmate 33105, Heywood, Shawshank Redemption, 1994.
Sometimes I cannot help but think in movie quotes.
There are some interesting similarities between the legal profession and the more infamous versions of organized crime. They manage to create a problem that only they can protect you from, for a huge fee.
