I recall conversations with our legal counsel, during my working years.
The gist of it was that the naivete of idealistic law students is knocked out of them during the first year.
A couple of examples: "There is no law, only lawyers". Professor to law student (sarcastically) "Oh, Mr.___has discovered a LAW!"
We are living under a tyranny of lawyers. A civilized society, a nation of laws, needs lawyers, but the influence and power of the legal profession has come to exceed that which is reasonable. Furthermore, the greatest concentration of such power is found disproportionately among graduates of a few elite law schools. Far too much concentration of power.
