The only reason we need lawyers today is because there are people
willing to sit on a jury and be conned that acts like fraud, theft,
assault, murder, etc are not really crimes or torts. The degree to which
societies need lawyers is directly proportionate to how badly such
societies (or its constituent members) have lost their moral/ethical
compass.
### Very good point. The current system for jury selection, favoring the
undereducated and unemployed, is one of the most severe problems affecting
the legal system.
