I'm considering law school and I've done mock trial for the past three years. My choice is the same.

What does a lawyer and a sperm cell have in common?
They both have a 1 in 3 Billion chance of becoming a human being.

Well. of course lawyers are evil and they must all be destroyed! Was it Shakespeare who said "First kill all the lawyers"? But then the pay is good. Don't become a paralegal though. The do all the hard work. My wife was one and is switching to cooking.

No! All lawyers are nice.
And that I did law school has nothing to do with it.
Trust me

Am I evil?
Yes I am!
Or is that just a lyric? What was the question again?
Sorry I was busy putting the finishing touches to my voodoo dolls ... now where is my broomstick?

Of course lawyers are not evil!!!!
you get good ones and bad ones, just like plumbers, shop keepers and any other trade!
I guess it depends what side you are on in a law suit also, if you win you think they are great, if you lose you think they are rubbish, but no trade is inherently 'evil' that's just ridiculous!
If you are thinking abou tthe prices they can charge, well as in all things it's market led, if the market accepts £500 an hour then that's what will be charged!

I think that in order to be a good lawyer you have to be ruthless ... at least to some extent. It may also depend on what you specialize in ... trade/business disputes surely are easier to handle as far as ethical/moral conflicts are concerned than divorces/family disputes etc..

Well, the only one I've ever known was also the worst teacher I've ever had in my life. based on him i wouldn't say they're evil, but merely assholes like someone else said.
also, what do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the sea?
a good start
