Week 5 EOC: Lawyers looking for fame

   “Laws, like the spider's web, catch the fly and let the hawk go free.”- Spanish proverb  You here of stories in the media all the time of Lawyers being overzealous and being hungry for fame. After reading the article 10 lawyers and Supreme Court I was angered and sadden. For a Lawyer to take a case merely in the hope that the case would go to the Supreme Court is just appalling. There’s one and only one reason they’re interested, “It’s not because they love the client or believe in the legal principle the case presents. That is just wrong in so many ways. On one hand you would hope that the client is getting the best representation but on the other hand at what cost.
“It is better to be a mouse in a cat's mouth than a man in a lawyer's hands”. Spanish Proverb Gloria Allred is a good example of a lawyer putting herself before her client.  Gloria Allred has many times put her so called expertise to work on someone that been hurt or injured someway by another person. She only takes cases that are high profile and will get her face on television. She seems to be in a lot of cases just a publicity hound setting up all sorts of press conferences to get her and sometimes her clients on CNN Fox News or any other news channel she can get on. I wonder if it would be better to do these cases a different way.“Despite the generous rewards that state juries dole out, in many cases, victims receive less than 50 cents on the dollar in settlements with the lawyers takingtherest.Thisisnotjustice.PatRoberts www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/lawyers.html
I hope to never need a Lawyer again because I have such a great dislike for them.
