The “Lawyers Looking for Fame” article is just another example of lawyers looking out solely for their own interests. Lawyers give themselves a bad reputation by constantly making themselves look as if the cases of the people they are representing are not as important as their own agenda’s. People see lawyers as parasites, because they can very likely hurt the people they represent in court. In the articles it mentions that there are lawyers that take up cases free of charge just so they can earn prestige by working on a high profile case. When a layer chooses to represent someone on the mere fact that the issue is getting a lot of attention, is when an individual should realize that the lawyer doesn’t have their best interest in mind. In the article it points out that the lawyer ended up losing the case and also directly hurt other rulings all over the country. The case also affected cases all over the United States, and specifically California which has a large number of illegal immigrants. This is a quote that every lawyer should stand “Laws should be like clothes. They should be made to fit the people they serve” by Clarence Darrow (thinkexist.com). If lawyers looked out for the interest of the people instead of their own, the country would be a much better place to live. Lawyers seem to cause more controversy than they actually resolve. “It is better to be a mouse in a cat's mouth than a man in a lawyer's hands” is a well known Spanish proverb according to allgreatquotes.com. I think the previous quotes correctly describe how some people might feel when they are in the hands of their lawyers.
“A successful lawsuit is the one worn by a policeman” by Robert frost. I agree that the only successful lawsuit is one worn by a police officer because all high profile cases end with one half of the nation wondering and the other half questioning.
