John Grisham's, The Rainmaker:

"In my first year of law school, everybody loved everybody else.

We were studying the law, and the law was a noble thing.
By my third year, you were lucky if you weren't murdered in your sleep.

People stole exams, hid research from the library and lied to the professors.

Such is the nature of the profession."

And, from the same movie:

" Sworn in by a fool, and vouched for by a scoundrel.

I'm a lawyer at last."
