    It's worse when you have to deal with them for your own issues, and later pay them

    Don't remind me. I once hired Ponti as my lawyer to win a surefire case for me. First thing he did was admit his clients guilt. smh.

    Lessons were learnt: If you don't pay your lawyer, you're paying too much.

    Lawyers should pay me for being their client and giving them exposure

    I am fascinated by what makes a person a former lawyer. Why would someone give up a well-paying job? A sudden emergence of moral integrity?

    Why would someone give up a well-paying job?
    That the job in a region with many self-employed lawyers isn' t really well-payed? Too much lions for only a few gnus.

    People tend to look at reality with the image they have in their mind.^^

    I know that there are cultural differences in what kinds of jobs pay better than worse. In my country, being a physician is a well-paying job but not insanely well-paying like in the US. In my country, a teaching is not a low-paying job like in some other countries.

    But this is the first time I hear someone saying that being a lawyer does not pay well. I would have never expected anyone to say that they got out of the profession because it wasn't paying well. Thank you, this is a true discovery to me.

    Lawyer can work in many fields (administration, insurance, courts, self-employed) in Germany.

    You earn very, very good as specialist lawyer for patent or copyright law, but only average for common civil law. You have high costs in maintaining an bureau and many competitors.

    I'm specialised in criminal law, but its only very good paid, if you have very rich clients. But not every region has many of them, like the rural region where i'm living.

    You're mean to me

    No but I've lost faith in all judicial systems except Australia's. Kangaroo Courts and Trial by Wombat still hold their appeal to me.

    I'm against risking my own life though. Two cute wombats tearing each other apart to settle my petty minor grievances seems ideal to me.

    Indeed. I'll have you know I'm deep down under actually a decent guy. I run a wombat rescue center and wouldn't you know it they're all horribly scarred physically and mentally.

    I happen to frequent a particular kangaroo court that holds appeals...
    "Non i titoli illustrano gli uomini, ma gli uomini i titoli." - Niccolo Machiavelli, Discorsi
    "Du musst die Sterne und den Mond enthaupten, und am besten auch den Zar. Die Gestirne werden sich behaupten, aber wahrscheinlich nicht der Zar." - Einstürzende Neubauten, Weil, Weil, Weil

    On an eternal crusade for reason, logics, catholicism and chocolate. Mostly chocolate, though.

    I can heartily recommend the Italian Wars mod by Aneirin.
    In exile, but still under the patronage of the impeccable Aikanár, alongside Aneirin. Humble patron of Cyclops, Frunk and Abdülmecid I.
