Exactly. Lawyers are like cops. Nobody likes them until they need one.
California has the highest number of lawyers per capita of anyplace in the
world. And, recent highly publicized law firm layoffs notwithstanding, very
few of them go wanting for work for very long. The "cancer," if you will,
is our litigious society, not the lawyers or their number. Blaming
litigiousness on lawyers is like blaming forest fires on firefighters.
Lawyers can't litigate with having clients (most of whom are *not* lawyers)
who are involved in litigation.

Has to be." -- George Taylor _Planet of the Apes_ (1968)
