Thanks for your vote of confidence in at least some or few of my brethren.
Well, I laugh at lawyer jokes as much as I do at doctor jokes; however, a prejudiced mind is hard to change nor should one bother to do so; e.g. the fallacious reasoning -
'All lawyers are jerks, he is a lawyer, therefore he is a jerk!'
However, Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer but no one thought that he was jerk.
Most laypeople deal with lawyers personally only in the event of a conflict, typically in the form of a civil lawsuit. Divorces, personal injury, property disputes, contract claims, product liability and warranty matters and other matters of this nature are, by definition, adversarial. Lawyers by necessity try to defend their client's position the best way they can and thus almost always get embroiled in the dispute. And let's face it, the lawyers cannot change the facts of their client's case and typically facts determine the law applicable and the outcome of the case.
However, without the assistance of lawyers, most of the client's cannot DIY their legal matters. Even a doctor's appendix has to be taken out by another doctor.
The broad brush approach taken by the unenlightened ones is sad. Many of us work very hard for our clients, exploring the frontiers of legal knowledge in support of the client's position.
Nevertheless, there are bad lawyers as there are bad cooks, barbers, carpenters, doctors, accountants, engineers; we certainly don't have the monopoly.
My lines above should not be misconstrued as annoyance at the jokes, but it appeared to me that it was incumbent upon me to set the record straight.
