As the old expression goes, “Lawyers are like nuclear weapons. Nobody likes them, but you have to have yours because the other guy has his.” I have a couple of lawyers in my family and know some others. None of them are in criminal law though.
There is no evidence of that in Canada. Last night’s news reports a convict suing the nation for $65,000,000 because solitary confinement caused emotional damage.
Not only should lawyers be kept on a short leash, curbed, and muzzled, but they should be neutered or spayed to keep their population from proliferating !
If the legal profession didn’t exist, the USA would be a police state; ruled by a fascist, racist government. There wouldn’t be any amendments to the constitution or child labor laws or a maximum hour work week. Back alley abortions & sweatshops would still exist. As imperfect and flawed as our system of government has become of late, we did break the Robber Barons, curb J. Edger’s FBI, defeat McCarthy and Nixon.
I come from a family of lawyers. I never understood all the negative comments lawyers in general provoked. Still don’t. That said, I’ve never been on the wrong end of a lawsuit.
Make lawyers filing nuisance suits wear a dunce cap. One thing left out of the comic is, there are female lawyers too. I’m sure they file nuisance suits for a few bucks.
This strip is degrading and disrespectful to one of Western society’s greatest contributions to mankind and, as a lawyer myself, I take great umbrage at being brazenly besmirched in such a manner. [HURUMPH]

Unfortunately, the really big, dangerous, aggressive ones sometimes snap the leash and run wild anyway…

The other side of that sign reads “curb your lawyer.”

Trump would have his hands full with the pack he has. They’d be going in every direction and no two pulling together

Uh, Trump’s lawyers are getting muzzles pretty soon. How do you keep the collars on with all the slime though?

curious, if not on a leash – who goes to jail? The lawyer or the client?

The lawyers in this strip seem tame. Did the clients follow Bob Barker’s advice?

A male suit pulling leash on a female lawyer indeed would not be a good optic.

That doesn’t make as much sense as leash laws for children.

Trump Administration Sides With Sudan Against USS Cole Survivors In Lawsuit
The administration argues that the $315 million in damages awarded to the victims in the case cannot stand.
The legal question is one that only a lawyer could love, but not the people whose lives have been affected.
The question is whether the notification of the lawsuit was sent to the wrong address.
