The Arrogant Worms Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 I'd prefer to be a doctor or a dentist rather than being a lawyer. Much more rewarding profession and you make a positive contribution to society by helping people with their health problems. I guess its different strokes for different folks.

RUPERTKBD Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 There is many more unethical lawyers than ethical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 the vast majority of lawyers are good people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I think you have that backwards. There are undoubtedly unethical lawyers, but they would be largely in the minority. I personally know about a dozen lawyers and none of them match the sterotypical "sleazy" lawyer that seems to be such a prevalent part of public perception. Over my years on this board, I have taken a few good natured digs at Wetcoaster, but always with tongue firmly planted in cheek. IMHO, the vast majority of lawyers are good people.

Tru_Knyte Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Many reasons there is high drop put rate in the profession in the fist five years after call. A lot of people cannot handle the pressure. Some thrive on it. Me I loved it and but for my medical issues i would happily be doing the job today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gross-Misconduct Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I have nothing against most lawyers. A lot of them deal with the technical stuff that us average folk have no clue about. I think it's the defense lawyers that most people are talking about when they say they hate them or think all lawyers are unethical. Personally I did a happy dance when one of OJ Simpson's lawyers bit the dust awhile back. Johnny Cochrane knew his client was a murderer (as all OJ's lawyers did) but was just doing his job in letting OJ get away with murder. Now he's dead.

Buddhas Hand Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The overwhelming majority of lawyers take their oath and obligations very seriously and for those that do not I have no issue with them being dealt with severely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Do you believe there's a difference in stress levels depending on what area of law you practice? (e.g. Corporate vs. criminal or family vs. civil suits?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 How do you know this ? have you spoken to the overwhelming majority of lawyers in your own country , i think not . Prove what you say is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Say what you like wetcoaster but most people do not trust lawyers and hold your profession in contempt. lawyers are parasites that feed off society , the world would be a better place if there was less lawyers.

pibroch Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Just wanted to chime in, if you're having difficulty finding a job with a degree the problem is most likely you, not what you majored in (barring a specialty area like engineering).

Buddhas Hand Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It is based upon almost 30 years of personal experience. What is your experience in dealing with BC lawyers? Prove it is untrue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prana16 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Let me think about that... Thinking... Thinking... Thinking... Thinking... Thinking... Thinking... Thinking... Thinking... Nope, I will continue posting as I have for the past number of years. I do not spam. If you believe that how I post violates the Board Rules, then feel free to report my posting style. Otherwise keep your unsolicited advice on how I should post to yourself. You have not had your knuckles rapped often enough by the Mods for this sort of thing in the past?

Buddhas Hand Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 That may be so... until they need a lawyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I have never needed a lawyer , in fact my partner and i have taken 2 lawyers to task and had them punished , i reiterate lawyers are parasites and most people feel this way about them.

Wetcoaster Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 That is what you lawyers do best is it not , throw a statement out there that is not true and wait and see what happens. The burden of proof is with you , you made the claim , now back it up with some tangible evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddhas Hand Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 You have made all sorts of claims with no proof other than your limited anecdotal experiences and in a foreign legal system. And many of your claims have been debunked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
