1. A great one's worth their weight in gold, though
Of course, that's my opinion. ;-)

2. "First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."
W. Shakespeare

Henry VI

I work with lawyers all day and the ones I work with are absolutely great, but I have known of crappy lawyers, sleazy lawyers and dishonest lawyers. Most of the lawyers I come in contact with (except for those I work with) are a bunch of self-centered egomaniacs.... sometimes, I find that I know more about the law than they do.

4. Of course you do
>sometimes, I find that I know more about the law than they do.<

You're the researcher, they make the argument after you've done the work ;-).

>bunch of self-centered egomaniacs<

Ohhhhhh, I've got one for you. He lives in our hometown. I used to work with him. In the dictionary under the words "arrogant" and "pompous," there's a picture of Jeffrey. :eyes:

5. Don't forget the context of that quotation
Killing all the lawyers is the first step to taking control of the government.

Sorry, can't stop being an English teacher sometimes.

3. People complain about lawyers until they need one.
And then it's a different story. There are assholes in every profession.
